Maybe this is over simplistic but my mum understands "download".
That seems to me to be the most natural and ubiquitous term understood
in the wild by all people today.
The option for a person to download and add a specific event, set of
contact details etc. from a uF enabled page would seem to be an optimal
outcome. Fundamentally, users are downloading that data first, then
adding it to an application -- usually requiring an extra step to
confirm that action in a dialogue box.
Seeing the uF or downloads icon then a list of available uF "downloads"
to cherry pick from would also be easily understood and used.
All the best,
Jon Tan
