I upgraded to TB 102.3.3 and used the native CalDAV and CardDAV support in the program for Google calendar and contacts. My calendar seems to be working OK, but my contacts are not synching. I cannot seem to find any way to force a sync. Logically, I would expect to right click the Google Contacts address book and find a sync option, but there is not one there. Did I set something up incorrectly? Thanks!

Solved my own problem.

When I initially set up Google Contacts in TB, I entered my GMail address and left the URL as gmail.com which was auto filled in, but the address book has no sync option.

I added a new address book but used the following for the URL and it added as a different type of address book with a sync option.

https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/[email protected]/lists/default/

explicit entry of a URL should not be required. The code is using Google autodetect settings for contact location, based on the user name you enter
