Google Apps shared contacts, now with double the capacity
November 18th, 2010 | Published in Google Apps, Google Enterprise | 1 Comment
Starting today, Google Apps for Business, Education and Government customers have space for twice as many contacts as before in their organization’s shared contacts. IT administrators told us that they needed more capacity, so we upped the limit from 25,000 to 50,000 entries. Shared contacts are part of the organization’s global address list (GAL), and these contacts auto-complete across Google Apps to help employees work faster and more accurately. Once you start typing to address an email message, invite colleagues to a calendar event, or share a Google Docs file, you can just click a recipient’s name to complete the entry.
We’ve also made optimizations to the Shared Contacts API so administrators can upload contacts much more quickly. Enjoy!

Hello,
I know many of us out there appreciate all the innovative, hard work you all do to further Google’s excellent products. I would like to know if you think a true Global Address Book will ever be available to Google Apps users without having to do any additional programming or use of API’s? I think most would agree that the ability for a person/company to keep in a central contacts database some of their most frequently contacted people is not a want but, a necessity. I am sure you all have at one point or another given this consideration. what are your thoughts on this?
thanks again for all the excellent work you developers do—it is most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Danny
