"Many email systems - even some social networks - put users in charge of their own data by helping them export their contacts in the standard CSV or vCard formats," Google post wrote announcing the new feature. Google+ users can download/export contacts from other networks, after which they can click on the "Find and invite" tab to see the "Upload address book" button.
"One thing about our uploader is that we won't mix your imported contacts up with all of your other Google Contacts. We only store the ones that you put into your Circles," says Google. The exported addresses can be dragged and dropped to existing or new circles.
However Google+'s new feature will make it easier for users to manage contacts and will cut manual effort, users wouldn't be able to synchronize Facebook contacts with Google+, simply because Facebook wouldn't allow it.
Ever since Google+ was launched Facebook has blocked any tool that could export user data from Facebook. In an act that can be called the height of desperation, Facebook blocked a third-party Google Chrome extension developed for exporting Facebook Friends' lists to Google+ within days of latter's launch by changing its OAuth (Open Authorization) 2.0 API in such a way that it suddenly removed e-mail addresses from the queries something which Facebook did against OX IO, to avoid Facebook users grab their own data and run.
