If you are using Gmail as a backup account to store important documents, contacts, and emails, it is most likely that you will be downloading them and saving them to your device at some point. The reason is that sometimes you want a quick look or access to your data and cannot spare the time to search on Google Contacts. The good news is that you could download contacts from Google in bulk using SysTools Gmail Backup. In this article, we are going to discuss the process so that downloading contacts in bulk is forever easy. Let’s begin.
Step 1: Download SysTools Google Vault Downloader
The first step of the process begins by visiting Systoolsgroup.com. You either have the option of downloading it for free or purchasing. SysTools offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if the program fails to perform in accordance with your expectations.
Step 2: Provide Email Credentials
Once the program has been downloaded, you need to launch it. Upon launching, the program will ask you for your Gmail account credentials. Remember to use the account which consists of the contacts you wish to download. Furthermore, allow your Gmail account to provide access to Systools Gmail Backup. As per Google policy, you will need to allow the sharing permissions in order to continue. Click Allow.
Step 3: Select Destination Folder
Next, you need to select a destination folder. This will be the location of the downloaded contacts. Click ‘Browse’ to select your desired folder (We recommend selecting the ‘Contacts’ folder from the options). Click on ‘Start’ to initiate the downloading process.
Step 4: Downloading Contacts
Systools Gmail Backup relies on a stable internet connection to perform the downloading process. Depending on the number of contacts existing on your Google Drive, it might take a few minutes until the process is completed. Upon completion, the program will display a count of the contacts downloaded.
Step 5: Visit the destination folder
Systools will store your downloaded contacts/ data in a folder created by itself. The name/title of the folder will be the same as your Gmail account/ address as you can see in the screenshot below. Furthermore, it will also create an ‘Export Report’ for you to cross-check and verify information downloaded.
Additional Features
- If due to any reason, the downloading process is interrupted or brought to a halt, Systools Gmail Backup will display ‘Recent History’. For instance, in the screenshot below, the downloading process was stopped due to an unstable Internet connection. Therefore, the next time you launch the program, you will be reminded of the previous unsuccessful download attempt.
- Systools Gmail Backup allows you to filter the data you wish to download as well. It will display a list of folders existing in your Gmail account that you can select or deselect. Furthermore, you can also filter by setting time intervals. Simply select ‘From’ and ‘To’ at the bottom and then click ‘Start’.
