Therefore, I am indulged and feel totally happy to bring this benefit-exclusive tutorial to the hearing of my readers and I do hope it is gonna be useful.

Have you gotten many contacts on your phone and you want to keep them permanently secured?

OK, I have said it all before now that I'll drop the tutorial now, just read me throughout;

A permanent solution to keeping your phone numbers rely solely on Google storage called GOOGLE DRIVE which can as well be used for not alone phone numbers.
You may ask What is Google Drive?
Google drive is one of Google's softwares that is used for keeping essential documents such as; school certificates, business records, educational documents, scanned documents and or religious videos e.t.c.
Now, this software (Google Drive) may be found in some phones but not all, if you can find it on your own phone you are good to go but if you cannot find it then don't be panicked I'll rescue you out with this post on getting yours.

To download Google Drive on your android phone you need to do that using Playstore playstore is also a Google software that android users use to download and install applications.
This software (Playstore) automatically found in all android phones.
Check yours, if you are not found of using this software and you want to use it the first time it will ask you to input and log in your gmail account do as requested and then follow more.
After logging in, your log in looks like the picture below

Now, you need to search and download Google Drive by searching using the method below

OK, Pick the name which I marked behind and then you next page is going to look like this

Now, Click on "Install" then allow it to be installed successfully.
Now go back to your phone menu (Application menu) and search for "Drive"
The application is always the same in all phone, it is should be exactly like the one on picture below


Now, that you've installed your "Google Drive" you will now search for "Contacts"
the normal you usually use phone saving numbers.
Note: I mean "Contacts" not "Phone" see it below on this picture

Click to open it, you know contact is always like this sample


good, now select all your contacts by firstly clicking on only one then look at your upper left-hand corner and click on "select all" as showing below

When you have clicked on one number then after it you clicked "Select" then "Select all" as you are instructed you should arrive to what you can see on the picture below

As you can also see it below, I have marked/selected "281" numbers below.
Your contacts would determine the number of numbers yours would be.
Now, you are to share the selected numbers to your Google Drive by looking up at your upper-hand right side and click on the "..." (Three dots) which is computerly called "Drop down" as seen below Delete, Emerge, Share in some phone it usually not the same but whatever be the case all you need to do is just this button called "Share" see an example below




When you've clicked it you will this cover another drop down inside it which displays some texts which are


Now, click on the "share" button and this page will be prompted up

When you have shared it, you will be taken to your Google drive page, but you are a first time user, you will need to scroll down a little before you see the Google Drive application after chosen "share " and some time you will need to click "See all" so as to see all the softwares that you have not chosen this "share" for previously whatever deem suitable then do and let's proceed.
Here you are clicking your share button this is the next page you will see

In document tittle chose any name you will like your file to be backup with, for example in my own I have chosen "Mtn ii" meaning that my SIM 2 which is my MTN line contacts, now you just to change it from "vcards_20170930_074121.vcf" from that to any name you prefer but don't ever change " .vcf " because that is the file extension that you documents would be saved with.
On the account you may change it or leave it, but ensure it set to your current gmail address which you you used to signed in your Google Drive (Google Account products such as ; Google +, Gmail etc) after all this now click on "Save" .
_
After saving it, it will be moved to Google but not yet been saved because it will be awaiting you to connect to a Wi-Fi network which seems annoying, but to avoid waiting open back your Google Drive and then click on the reload button as seen on my picture below
You may also wipe down your phone screen as you used to d whenever you want to on your mobile data and click as seen below
