Sometimes, Contact Sharing gets disabled due to API errors or user account errors. On other occasions administrators inadvertently turn off data access from their G Suite accounts. This post shows how to enable contact sharing when your contact sharing stops working due to these reasons:
- We should ensure that Data Access is enabled in G Suite.
