Just curious... is there currently anything out there now that automatically synchs the contacts of your phone's addressbook to Dropbox?

  Not that I know of but google sync manages it quite well for smartphones (though it is syncing it to a gmail account and not dropbox).

    Yeah I know google sync, but think it would be pretty awesome if I could back that all up across several different platforms via Dropbox, along with all my laptop/work stuff

      Dropbox is a folder dropbox, it's not MobileMe, or WhateverCompanyComprehensiveDataCloudSolution. (Although doesn't Google already do everything but files pretty well?)

      I don't think I've seen anyone attempt to do it with the Dropbox API and your mobile contacts, but I'm pretty sure it could be done.

        Yup, that's what I'm thinking... I think it would be cool to hack something up like that.

        I've been playing with creating a CardDAV server, which is pretty mush shuffling vCard files around. You could probably something similar with Dropbox.

  Android syncs your addressbook with gmail. Is it the only one to do that?
