This article is for those who use the Google Chrome browser and have not yet used the ability to synchronize their browser data, such as bookmarks, history, passwords, etc., with their Google account. This way, all browser data that can be very important (especially passwords) will be securely stored in your account and will not be lost anywhere as long as you have access to your Google account.
What is the benefit of syncing Google Chrome browser data with your Google account?
Bookmarks, which sometimes number in the tens and hundreds, and where there may be links to sites that you really need, which you then will not immediately be able to find on the Internet, because you will not remember how you found them.
Logins and passwords for sites.
Passwords are, in general, one of the most important points, because many users save all their passwords in their browsers and nowhere else. And if something goes wrong even with the browser itself, your passwords may be deleted! And they can even be accidentally removed through various third-party programs to clean Windows and speed up its operation.
Saved bank card data that you use when paying on various sites via Google Chrome.
Browser settings.
Installed extensions.
History (which sites were visited and at what time). Sometimes, using history, you can find a site that you lost and did not save, remembering that you visited it on such and such a date.
Your data saved in the browser will be safe! In the event of a crash of the system itself, the hard drive, or, ultimately, a simple “breakdown” of the Google Chrome browser, you will not lose important data from your browser. The most important of these:
It also saves data such as autofill (what you entered into various comment forms, search engines, etc.), browser themes, and open tabs.
All this is constantly transferred in encrypted form to your Google account, i.e. synchronization occurs. Therefore, if any failure happens, all you need to do to recover your data is to log back into your Google account through the Google Chrome browser. The saved data will be instantly transferred to your computer in the browser!
Your data from Google Chrome will be available to you on any device where the same browser is installed and you are signed in to your Google account.
For example, you mostly work from home, but you also have another workplace. All you have to do is log in to your Google account via Google Chrome and all your data will be available in this workplace in a few seconds!
Also, when using any devices where you use the Google Chrome browser, everything will be synced with your Google account. For example, on a smartphone or tablet, log into your Google account through this browser and again all your saved browser data is at hand.
All this is very convenient!
Let's get started with practical implementation...
How to set up Google Chrome data synchronization.
Setting up your Google Chrome browser data to sync with your Google account is actually simple.
You will need your Google services account. If you don’t have one yet, I recommend that you get one (link to register in Google services: open). Click the “Create account” button there:
Why do I recommend having a Google account? Firstly, you will be able to use the most reliable and secure mail from Google today, which is called GMail, and secondly, you can use the same account on all other Google services, and this is the well-known Youtube, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Photos, social network Google+ and many other useful services.
Of course, you can use most Google services (for example, maps, YouTube) without an account, but by logging in with your account, you get more features and convenience!
Open the Google Chrome browser menu on your main device, where all the bookmarks, passwords and other data you need for this browser are saved and go to settings.
Since you haven’t yet logged into your Google account through a browser (because if you had, you wouldn’t need the information from this article), all data is saved on the device itself. Our task is to upload them to your account so that you can access them from any device.
A window will open where you enter the login for your account in Google services (this is your EMail in Gmail), click “Next” and then enter the password and “Next” again.
A window will appear telling you what data Google Chrome will sync with your Google account. Click "OK" to complete the setup.
Now in the browser settings, in the “Login” section, it should be displayed that you are logged in under such and such an account and below there will be buttons for the ability to disconnect from your account and change synchronization settings.
That's all! Immediately after connecting the Google Chrome browser to your Google account, all data from the browser (bookmarks, passwords, history and everything else) will begin to be downloaded to this account. This whole process will take only a few minutes, and sometimes it flies by in less than half a minute (depending on the amount of information stored in the browser).
Now you can sit down and work anywhere, from any device, using all the same settings, bookmarks, passwords and other Google Chrome browser information that you already have saved in your Google account.
If you want only certain data from the browser to be synchronized with your account, for example, only passwords and bookmarks, then in the Google Chrome settings at the top, click “Advanced synchronization settings.”
If you changed anything, don’t forget to click “OK” to save the settings.
Conclusion
Synchronizing browser data in Google Chrome is extremely convenient! Because on each of your devices, where you access the Internet from the same browser, you will have different bookmarks, different passwords and other information saved. It turns out that, for example, some of the saved logins and passwords may be on one computer, and some on another. It can't be convenient. And after setting up synchronization, everything will be in one account!
For all Google Chrome users who still do not use the ability to synchronize browser data with a Google account, I recommend setting it all up, because it is very convenient and simplifies the work!
Surely, when launching the Yandex browser, you saw the “Synchronization” button in the menu, and wondered - what is it and what is it for? In fact, almost all modern browsers have this function and is simply necessary, since it has a very important mission. It makes it possible to save all your data, including browser settings, browsing history, cookies, cache, saved bookmarks, frequently visited sites and generally all important information on a special web storage. Therefore, if some situation happens and all data is lost, you can restore it without problems using the presented function.

Create an account (if you don’t have one)
To enable Yandex browser synchronization, you need to get an account in Yandex services. If you already have an account, you can safely skip this step and move on to the next one. If you do not have an account in Yandex, then before you begin synchronization, you need to have one. To do this, follow the instructions:

Step 5. After logging in, a window will appear on the screen asking you to install Yandex Disk. It can be installed on a computer, phone and even tablet. We recommend doing this. Then you can always quickly and easily manage your saved data and even store your files there. If you do not need this, click on “ Close a window" In some cases, this window may not exist, but you will immediately be prompted to enable synchronization, do as in the screenshot.
Step 6. Voila, synchronization has been successfully enabled. But we would like to draw your attention to the fact that it can be customized. And how to do this, see below.

After synchronization is enabled, the browser allows you to configure what data to save. To start setting up, do the following:
You can also delete all data saved during synchronization there. To do this, click “ Show data” and click on the link “ Delete " In the pop-up window that opens, confirm your action and the data will be successfully cleared.
To disable Yandex Browser synchronization, click on the “Disable” button, which is also located in the settings.
Synchronizing Yandex Browser between devices
As mentioned below, in the browser from Yandex, you can easily import data to other computers, smartphones and tablets. We will now look at how to do this.
In fact, it's as easy as snapping your fingers. If you need to synchronize data on another device, all you need to do is launch the Yandex browser and log into your account in the manner described in the article ( Settings – Enable Sync – Login to account).
No further action needs to be taken. All data will be downloaded to a device that has data synchronization enabled automatically. All you need to do is just wait a few minutes until the Internet browser completes the process of downloading bookmark data, passwords, history, etc. to the device.
Import data from other browsers and HTML file
Another useful feature of the Yandex browser is importing data from another browser, or from an html file. Thus, you can easily transfer all data from any other browser to Yandex.
This is very convenient, especially when you decide to change your browser and start using Yandex Browser, but want to save your settings, bookmarks, etc. As a result, you won’t have to transfer all your bookmarks, passwords, and everything else manually.

When using multiple devices, it is necessary to be able to obtain the necessary data from each of them. It is for these purposes that gadgets have a convenient function. Let's talk about what synchronization is in an Android phone and why it is needed.
Synchronization - what is it?
Synchronization is a mechanism that combines actions on different devices into one coherent flow, which allows you to get up-to-date, unified information on each device. To fully use an Android device, you need a Google account, which is used to log into the application store. But it also has another function - synchronization.
If this setting is activated, then user data is automatically uploaded to the Google cloud. After logging into your account on another device, the data from the storage will be transferred to the gadget for use by the user. The following elements are synchronized:
- browser bookmarks;
- mail;
- application data;
- documentation;
- calendar;
- contacts;
If you have one of the Google applications installed on your device (Photos, Documents, Notes, etc.), then the corresponding items will additionally appear in your account settings.
How to set up synchronization for Google
Let's move on to setting up the main Android account.
Note! For example, Meizu M5 with Flyme shell is used. The location of the items may differ on other devices.
Note! To sync photos and videos, use the Google Photo app, and for files, use Google Drive.
To disable it, simply uncheck the appropriate boxes.
other methods
It is worth noting that you can copy data to all your devices in other ways.
For branded shell
Almost all smartphone manufacturers use proprietary Android shells (add-ons) on their gadgets. Some of them have a synchronization function for your own profile.
Note! For example, we used Meizu with the Flyme shell, which provides a Meizu account. Different manufacturers' own profile may differ or be completely absent.
Similar actions for Mi-account and others.
Third Party Applications
There are many apps available in the Play Store that allow you to back up your data and sync it to another device. Let's look at the example of one of the most popular programs - G Cloud.

- Select “Register with Google+” → enter your account.
- Check the boxes to add the items to the cloud → click on the button with the floppy disk.
