    Hi @Charles Boehnlein ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    According to my test, when I share my contact folder to others, the categories are also included.
    Here are the detailed steps for your reference:

    • Right-click the desired contacts folder to share, click Properties > Permissions tab > Add.

    • Click the drop-down arrow in Permission Level: Publishing Editor, click OK.

    Now, the person in your organization can directly Open this Contacts folder in their Outlook via open shared contact.
