First thing I learned is dragging a contact to a different addressbook is a "move" operation. If you are worried about losing the contact, save it to a VCF file using OwnCloud (Or LDIF using Thunderbird Addressbook) first! Like dragging from "OwnCloud Addressbook" to "Personal Address Book" removes the contact from OwnCloud Server (*deleting it from all the other synchronized installations*) and puts it in your Local Machine -only- Addressbook. So be careful or you'll have unintended consequences where you might have intended a "copy" operation. + +Contact *Pictures* are also sync'ed!
