    Hi everyone! I'm sorry if this question has already been asked but how do I sync these two devices? I've had my CB a week and although I'm really enjoying it, I absolutely cannot find a way to see all my phone's data on my chromebook. I'm not technically minded at all and I would really appreciate someone's advice. thanks in advance.

    Chromebooks are awesome.

    What data do you want to see?

    If it is just your brousing data then as long as you are logged in to the same account and using Chrome in both then it should just happen.

    Likewise with Keep and other Google services.

    If you are talking about running Android apps on Chrome OS then I think it is is still in alpha or beta and only works with 2 or 3 apps.

    Well, I'd love to upload my photos..use my Sonos app, my music, hangouts history...I'd love to just sync them up in order to be able to save stuff and access stuff. I can't remember where but I read that somehow you can take a pic on your phone and access it immediately on your CB?

    Turn on auto backup on the photo app on your S4( set it to wifi only to save your data). Then go to plus.google.com and log in. You will find your phones there and they are upload everytime you have Wifi. Dont forget to activate your 100gb 2 year data allowance with the chromebook
