Importing or exporting data is typically a one-way, isolated event. Syncing data is not the equivalent of importing or exporting data. Further, example four shows that if a change in bookmark data on Device 2 is made (a bookmark was deleted) the other devices on the chain do not receive it. Now, when a change in bookmark data is made to another device ( a bookmark was added to device 1), Device 2 does not receive this data and the change is not reflected on the device. In Example 3, Device 2 has the Bookmarks data type toggled “off”. We show another example of this behavior below: You can do this by disabling the desired data types on a device, after-which that device will not receive that data from, nor will it send that data to other devices on the chain. For example, you may want to only Sync bookmarks and passwords, but no other data between devices. However you may want to only Sync specific data between devices so that only those data are propagated when a change occurs. In the examples above, we considered each device to Sync “all” possible data types. Likewise, if a change in bookmark data on Device 2 (a bookmark is deleted), that change is reflected on Devices 1 and 3.
A change is made to Bookmark data (a new bookmark was added) in Device 1, which then propagates to both other devices on the chain. In the image above, Example 1 shows a Sync chain with three connected devices, configured to Sync all data types. If a data type is toggled “on”, it will both receive data updated or changed from other devices on the chain, as well as send data updated on the device to other devices on the chain. You can toggle the type of data you’d like to be synced in Settings → Sync. Then, changes in any device will propagate and sync to the other devices and data will be the same across all devices for the synced data types. When this happens, information from each device will merge. When you add devices to a Sync chain, Brave Sync will initiate automatically. For a deeper understanding of the internal Sync mechanism, please see: It also makes adding or removing data easier by automatically syncing those changes to each device so that you only have to make the change once, instead of making the change on each individual device. This way, you have access to the same bookmarks, browsing history and other data regardless of which device you are using. What does it mean to “Sync” my data?īrave Sync allows you to synchronize your browsing data across all of your devices. Note: This is a brief explanation of how Brave Sync should function for users who are unfamiliar with or unclear on what to expect from Sync.
