There is simply no shortage of options for Android users who are looking to effectively sync data between their device and their computer over a local Wi-Fi connection. However, not all solutions provide dual sync option, meaning that using most solutions, you can either sync data from computer to device or vice versa but not in both directions. This is where Cheetah Sync comes in. Cheetah Sync supports two-way data sync (between PC/Mac and your Android device) along with a plethora of customization features, which we will delve into after the break.
Cheetah Sync for android Two-way data sync means that any changes made to the content of the folder specified on one device (computer and/or Android) are automatically replicated in the other. Like all aforementioned solutions, syncing data with Cheetah Sync is done using a desktop server (that runs on your computer) and a mobile client. Syncing data between computer and Android device or vice versa with Cheetah Sync is quite simple. Just make sure that you have the mobile client and desktop server of Cheetah Sync properly set up on their respective platforms and that they are synced with each other.
The desktop server, once installed, automatically detects your IP and hostname. All you need to do is feed in a password (for safe data transfer), specify the default download directory on your computer, check the Enable server logging option and finally press the Save button. Your desktop server is now active.Next comes the configuration of the mobile client of Cheetah Sync. If you’re using Cheetah Sync on your device for the first time, you must create a new sync job to specify the sync folders on your computer as well as on your Android. For this, you need to tap on the Sync Jobs button on the app’s home screen. The app prompts you to specify a folder on your computer that you wish to sync. Navigate to a desired folder on your computer through the app’s remote browser and tap on the blue check button on the top-right of the screen to confirm the folder. Next, you are prompted to specify a folder on your Android that would be used to store synced data. Again, just navigate your way to the desired folder on your device and tap on the blue check button to confirm.
The app displays all your actively running sync jobs through status bar notifications. Remember, the free version of Cheetah Sync lets you add just a single sync job. However, you may upgrade to the Unlimited Sync Jobs plan from within the app for a meager price of $1.49.
