The app is freeware and can be downloaded and used without limitation.

Installing the companion on your computer and this app on your phone is what makes syncing them so simple.

For a wired connection, use the charging cable that came with your device.

The Samsung plug inserts into the charging port on your phone or tablet, and the USB end plugs into an open port on your desktop or laptop computer.

You can share files between these paired devices simply by dragging and dropping them.

If you keep your spreadsheets, for instance, in a synced folder, then any changes made while using your mobile device will be synced with your PC and vice versa.

This app can also mirror one screen to another, and this is perhaps among the slickest mirroring solutions weve reviewed.

Novices will be using it in no time at all, but it also has the features that advanced users will take advantage of.

This is particularly great in business meetings where the etiquette is to make your phone silent or not have it present at all.

You can send messages, and you can even accept the call through the computer if you want.

Samsung asserts that certain OS features are required to make it work, but its likely that this limitation is artificial.

Not even all Samsung phones and tablets are supported fully or at all, and this can include Galaxy devices released prior to SideSync being introduced.

These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.

If you dont request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time.

Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them.

As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
