Public folder versus Shared mailbox for only a global contacts list
A client of me with Office 365 mail accounts wants to have a contacts list in Outlook that is shared for all of the users and can be easily changed when needed.
I would say a public folder is the best for this, but it can also be done using a shared mailbox.
what is the common idea on this?
If a document pops up that public folder is really used / advised for this then I would love to see this so I can convince the client to use a public folder :)
PS: Outlook for mac is used and 1 user does want his contacts list IN the MAC contacts app.

Really not a great practice to give everyone the ability to add, remove and change contacts at will--especially when the plan is to share with all users.

Well that is the same in public folders, concerning the rights.
But with contacts, they only get them in the GAL ?
and not in a 'addressbook' then?

Personally, I don't care how it gets accomplished. I would not do it that way. I'm am just providing an optional method that you did not state.
Contacts from the GAL can always be added personal contacts.

todd: I would not do it that way
Then how would you do it?

Let me clarify. I would do it the way I proposed. I would not use public folders or a shared mailbox.
definitely not a public folder... will eventually disappear, Microsoft already tried once to get rid of them (back in 2012).
