How to save all contacts to Google with a broken SD card? Today my SD Card broke. I do not have a replacement. I have some important contacts on my phone which were not synchronized with Google. Before formatting the sdcard (as a last restort to see if I do have to buy a replacement) I'd really like to retrieve them, however all the import/export options are about phone internal memory, sdcard and SIM. Is there any way to export all my contacts to Google?

I do have access to the internet and I do have all synchronisation options available enabled.

Can I do something better than spending some hours writing the contacts manually on GMail?
According to the GMail help pages, you should be able to easily export your contacts using a web browser:


Sign in to Gmail.
Click Gmail at the top-left corner of your Gmail page, then choose Contacts.
From the More drop-down menu, select Export....
Choose whether to export all contacts or only one group.
Select the format in which you'd like to export your contacts' information. Please note, some of these formats can lose some contact information.


To transfer contacts between Google accounts, use the Google CSV format. This is the recommended way to back up your Google Contacts.
To transfer contacts to Outlook, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or various other apps, use the Outlook CSV format.
To transfer contacts to Apple Address Book, use the vCard format.

Click Export.
Choose Save to Disk then click OK.
Select a location to save your file, and click OK.


This (and some other details) are also described in a post titled How to Create Mail Merge in Gmail Contacts.



Now you write you have some contacts which are not synchronized with your Google account, but stored on your SIM card. Of course, you first need to "convert" them to "Google contacts", which is described in How do I import all contacts from a SIM-card to an Android phone?:


open the contacts app
press the "menu" key
navigate to Import/Export → Import from SIM card
click "Select All" (or manually select the contacts you wish to import)
when asked where to copy the contacts to, select the appropriate option


This procedure can also be found in a tutorial at AndroidAdvices, together with some screenshots to visualise the process.

Your broken SD card should not matter here, as it isn't involved anywhere in the process.
