As far as i remember this was solved long time ago like 1 year ago, a few versions of cozy-contacts ago. I remember i had posted the same issue, and you guys fixed it by using 'tags' or labels to represent groups, and then it worked. but now it doesnt anymore.
I am having the same problem again, i sync'd a contact that had a group from android to cozy, and it didnt add it.
Also, i added a new group on android and when it sync'd, it added the group as a contact on cozy, then it sync'd back and changed the group into a contact on android.

CardDAV apparently support two ways of handling group, see:

So, Android seems to manage groups as vCard, while Cozy doesn’t. Not sure about how Google does this, but I think it’s vCard too, which would make sense with regards to Android, but not to cozy-import.

I think that groups issues, whether on mobile, import or contacts app side, seriously need someone to take a look at it. ;)

yea i remember that option. I agree.. the grouping is very important, especially if most of your contacts are grouped to find them easier.
