Sync your Samsung Galaxy phone and Galaxy Chromebook

Enhance your Chromebook's functionality by downloading Android apps from the Play Store, available on models from 2017 onwards. Remember, apps need to be downloaded individually as they won't automatically sync from your phone, and compatibility may vary.

Easily keep your files and photos in sync between your Galaxy phone and Chromebook.

1. Start by ensuring both devices are logged into the same Google account. On your Chromebook, open Settings, then select Connected devices, and connect your phone if it isn't already.
2. Next, fine-tune what you sync. Open Settings, select Privacy and security, and then select Sync and Google account.
   
3. Similarly, adjust backup settings on your phone. Open Settings, select Accounts and backup, and then back up your data for your Google account.
   Note: If you want to back up your data immediately, tap Back up now.
