How to sync to gmail AND iCloud?

Ok so I have all of my contacts saved/backed up in my gmail account and that's how they are then sync'd onto my iphone.

But I would also like to back up/sync these contacts to my iCloud - but it doesn't seem to allow me to do this since gmail is default even though I have Contacts ticked on in iCloud they will not sync/populate into icloud at all.

I would like all 3 sync'd/slaved to each other so that if one is deleted on one, it's also deleted on the other 2.

Any help?

Thanks.

Google services and Apple services do not sync with each other. But there is nothing stopping you from copying the contacts from your Google account to your Apple account.

Well I was hoping that the sync to icloud would copy the contacts google was populating on my phone?

So the only way to load my contacts into icloud is to manually do an export/import on my computer? There's no way to get icloud to populate what's on my phone if it's attached to google?

That is what I said before. Gmail and iCloud do not sync with each other, only with themselves.
