To turn on sync on your Chromebook and keep your data consistent across devices, follow these steps:
- At the bottom right corner of your Chromebook screen, select the time. This opens the system tray.
- Select Settings (the gear icon).
- In the "Accounts" section, find and select Sync and Google services.
- Select Manage what you sync. This allows you to choose exactly what information you want to synchronize.
- Choose the data you'd like to sync. You can sync everything, or customize it to include things like your apps, extensions, bookmarks, history, settings, and passwords.
- (Optional) For enhanced security, under "Encryption options," you can encrypt your synced data with a custom passphrase. This prevents Google from being able to read your data, adding an extra layer of protection.
By following these steps, you can enable and customize sync on your Chromebook, ensuring your important data is backed up and available wherever you sign in with your Google account.
