# How to backup your contacts and import them into Roundcube
|
|
Although there should be no problem with switching webmail clients, it is highly recommended that you backup your addressbook.
|
|
|
|
The suggested, easiest and quickest way is to _export_ your contacts from the **Contacts** app in the cloud.
|
|
|
|
## Exporting contacts from the cloud
|
|
|
|
1. Login to your **Disroot** cloud and select the **Contacts** app;
|
|
2. go to the **Settings** menu at the bottom left;
|
|
3. click on the three-dot menu to the right of the addressbook you want to export and select **Download**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will be asked where to save the file in your computer. Now you have a backup of your contacts.
|
