TB won't synchronizing contact to Gmail.
I've tried following the instructions from this link. https://ekiwi-blog.de/en/25881/synchronize-google-calendar-and-contacts-with-thunderbird-without-addons/
Basically, you add a new CardDAV Address Book; and then use this link as the location https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/myemail@gmail.com/lists/default/ P.S I did change "myemail@gmail.com" to my actual email address.
It fetches contacts from Gmail but it won't upload contacts from TB to Gmail; which is what I need TB to do so that I can keep contacts synchronizes across multiple laptops. I only add contacts from TB and won't use Gmail to add new contacts.
Is there a something that I need to set within Gmail to get this to work or it is just not possible at the moment to synchronize in both directions?

I've got it working; it seems like you have to save contacts "manually" first in both apps before it knows how to synchronize between the two automatically. I saved a test contact in Gmail called "Test Contact 1" and it synchronized to Thunderbird; thereafter I saved a contact in Thunderbird called "Test Contact 2" After saving in Thunderbird both "Test Contact 1 & Test Contact 2" were finally updated to Gmail and synchronized across my devices.
Fundamentally you should not need to insert any url. Thunderbird should pick it up from the @gmail part of the email address. The same goes for the calendars.
