Sync your account settings
You can save and sync things like your bookmarks and settings to your FydeOS Account. That way you'll always have them on any FydeOS device where you're signed in. Syncing is on by default when you sign in to your FydeOS device.
How syncing helps
- Your settings and data are synced to your FydeOS Account. This way, your saved settings will be ready when you sign in to the same account on a different FydeOS device.
- If your FydeOS device is stolen or broken, you can get back your settings, bookmarks, apps, extensions, and themes just by signing in again. (Note: Downloads are not synced.)
- Changes to Chromium will sync right away. If you've signed in to the same FydeOS Account on a different FydeOS device and have sync turned on, any changes you make on your FydeOS device will show on Chromium on other devices where you're signed in.
To keep your information secure, synced data is encrypted when it travels between your computer and FydeOS's servers.
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Select Settings .
- In the "Accounts" section, select Sync and other services.
- Select Manage what you sync.
- Choose what you'd like to sync.
- To use all the same settings on every FydeOS device you sign in to, turn on Sync everything. You’ll have to turn this on for every device you’d like to sync.
- To choose specific settings to sync in each FydeOS device you sign in to, turn on Customize sync. Then, under “Sync data,” turn on your preferred settings to sync.
Important: If you're using a FydeOS device at work or at school, your administrator might choose to turn off sync. If so, you won't be able to sync your information.
You can delete your synced information from your FydeOS Account at any time:
- At the bottom right, select the time.
- Select Settings .
- In the "Accounts" section, select Sync and other services.
- Select Review your synced data.
- At the bottom, select Reset sync.
All the information that has been synced will be deleted from your settings Account. All of your bookmarks, apps, and extensions will stay on your settings device, but won't show up on other settings devices you use.
