Help anything like mobile me sync?

[gqtrebor]

Since i finally dropped my apple account, i was wondering if they have anything kinda like the mobile me cloud. Where all my bookmarks and contacts and so forth can be synced between two computers?

Are you for real?

It's a Google-integrated mobile OS, everything is there under your Google account...

Whatever you need just put after google.com as

http://www.google.com/[i]<service_name>[/i]

and that's it - just like these:

http://www.google.com/mail
http://www.google.com/bookmarks
http://www.google.com/contacts
http://www.google.com/calendar
http://www.google.com/docs
http://www.google.com/reader
http://www.google.com/voice
http://www.google.com/wave

etc.

Or you may like it better this way:

http://mail.google.com
http://bookmarks.google.com
http://contacts.google.com
http://calendar.google.com
http://docs.google.com
http://reader.google.com
http://voice.google.com
http://wave.google.com


etc.


Alternatively you can just go to Google Mobile at http://m.google.com in your phone's browser if you don't like to launch various Google apps on your phone, you can access all Google stuff here, in one place (you can even add your corporate Google Apps domain tools here too.)

So i can save my book marks. So i have all my book marks in Internet explorer. So do i have to manually add each one to google. or can i import them to my google account?

Easiest way is via Chrome: install Chrome then enable Chrome's Google Sync with the same Google account you registered your phone with then import your IE bookmarks into Chrome and sync them up into your Google account.
That's it, they are available under Google Bookmarks - and they not simply "are there somewhere" but if you open your Google Docs you will see under My Folders you have a new folder called Google Chrome and it has a Bookmarks subfolder - go ahead, you can add/edit/delete etc there...


...which means alternatively you can sync them this way too (ie after finishing your first Chrome sync you go to this Google Docs folder and add your bookmarks there then sync'em down in Chrome again) but it's a way more work, I think.

PS: instead of bookmarking in the browser and syncing them you can switch entirely to Google Bookmarks by using this bookmarklet: Using Google Bookmarks : Manage your bookmarks - Google Chrome Help

In essence this will add new bookmarks to your Google Bookmarks instead of your browser's bookmark list.

I want to import all my book marks from synced data i.e google docs, How to do it?

Because I re-installed google crome and lost all my book mark. Since earlier I already synced my bookmarks so they all are present in my google docs. To access these book marks, every time I need to open google docs -> my folders. Which I do not want to do everytime.

Is there a way to IMPORT these bookmarks from google docs -> my folders.


Thanks in advance fro you reply ..

Just in case you still have your MobileMe account. You can setup the MobileMe email account in your Email App. I had to maually do it, which was no big deal, but I have all of my MobileMe folders and everything, so I am all sync'd up...
