Default folder under iOS

We have more information about the synchronization of contacts under iOS:
From mailbox.org-Office to your iOS device, synchronization works across all folders if the corresponding "Groups" are enabled under iOS "Contacts".

If you want to synchronize from your iOS device to mailbox.org-Office, this is only possible via the default folder "Contacts". These are system restrictions on the part of Apple, over which we have no influence.
