All devices that can connect to the internet today can synchronize data with each other . "Synchronization" means that the data created in one becomes automatically available on the others, with a continuity for work and leisure that allows, for example, to start a job on one computer and finish it on another or to store a phone number on your mobile phone and find it saved on your PC.
Apps to synchronize data on mobile phones (Android smartphones and tablets, Samsung, iPhone and iPad) and computers (Windows and Mac PCs), which can be photos, documents, phone numbers, notes, messages or other, become very useful.
Among the many, we see here the top 10, the ones that everyone should install on their app and use on their computer .
1) PushBullet is the app that synchronizes data from a smartphone phone to one or more computers and vice versa .
With this application / extension you can send files from PC to mobile phone, send links and images.
Thanks to its synchronization service, all the notifications of an Android smartphone can be received on the mobile phone.
This means that you can read SMS and Whatsapp messages on your PC without having to pick up the phone.
In other articles, we talked about how Pushbullet works to receive Android notifications on PC in real time and how to send files and links from PC to Android and iPhone and vice versa.
2) With Mightytext you can synchronize SMS between PC and Android phone, receive them and write them on PC, more effectively than Pushbullet.
3) Google Drive is one of the most useful apps for every smartphone, not only because it allows you to save files online and synchronize them with other devices such as your home or work PC, but also because it includes functions to open and create documents, spreadsheets and presentations, becoming a very valid and free alternative to Microsoft Office.
4) Google Photos is the app to be used instead to synchronize all the photos (without limits) taken with the mobile phone and find them on the computer automatically, without having to do any manual transfer.
5) Gmail is not only an excellent email client that can be used via the web as an app, but it is also the universal app for transferring contacts from one mobile phone to another, which works on Android and also on the iPhone.
Basically, just let Gmail manage the phone's contacts and they will be recoverable from the Gmail site or from another phone's app.

6) Google Calendar allows you to synchronize appointments and deadlines so you can check them, whatever computer or phone you use, if connected to the same Google account.
One can also see Google Calendar in Outlook and synchronize the calendars.
7) Apps for taking notes like Google Keep, OneNote or Evernote are very useful apps to keep notes to remember always at hand, whatever device you use, in a synchronized way.
8) BitTorrent Sync is the app to be used to have a homemade cloud system, in order to synchronize folders between PC and mobile phone without going through an external server like Google Drive does.
The files of the selected folders are actually copied to all the added devices and are therefore also available offline.
Any changes made on that folder and on those files are synchronized on the other computers or smartphones, always remaining the same.
9) Google Music is an app (actually not too perfect as Google Photos instead) that allows you to synchronize music.
You basically upload music from your PC to the almost infinite space of Google Music (up to 30, 000 songs) and then listen to it from your mobile phone, both online and offline.
10) Google Chrome is not only one of the many browsers available for PC and mobile phones, it is also the best one to synchronize all the saved data and find them whatever device you use.
Those who only use Apple devices can use Safari and iCloud without other apps.
