In fact you can export and import from vcf files. The code is already
implemented in the App.
If you click on "share" button it will generate a vcard with this
contact (or multiple contacts, if you are in multi selection mode).
The problem is that, we do not have a app that accept a vcard and save
it to disk, or vice-versa.
We have two options here.
1 - Add a explicitly option on address-book-app to save/restore file to disk
(which can be complicated since we will need to open a file dialog asking where
to save/read it).
2 - Implement support for that on file manage. This will be very simple since
we only need to receive it from content-hub and write it on disk. The sabe is
valid if a user click on a vcard file it should use content-hub to import it to
address-book.

[address book] No import/export to/from files

Bug description:
Hi,
There are no option to sync contact for a human being form the
Contacts apps, from a backup file (xml,vcf,…?). This need comes from
that many users of Ubuntu might be moving from Android or other famous
OS on phone; these OS not always give the option to sync contact on
SIM, but on an file on the SDCARD, so Ubuntu (address-book-app) should
provide a way to import these backups.
Steps :
* Launch contacts
* no option to sync, import/export contact are found on the interface (only
a search option and a + option)
* swipe from down to access the + menu, users might expect to add manually
contact here, no more option like importing contacts from file.
* To be sure I checked in the system settings, no import option found there
User should be able to add contact from his backup on SDCARD (no one
want to import hundreds of contacts manually).
