You can save and sync things like your history, bookmarks, and passwords to your Google Account. That way you'll always have them on any Chromebook and in Google Chrome on other devices where you're signed in. Learn how to sign in to Chrome.

Syncing works with Chrome OS version 18 and later, and is on by default when you sign in to your Chromebook.

Choose what information to sync

1. Click your account photo.
   
2. Click Settings .
   
3. In the "People" section, click Sync.
   
4. Choose what you'd like to sync. To use all the same settings on every Chromebook you sign in to, turn on Sync everything.
   
5. Optional: Under "Encryption options," you can encrypt all your synced data with a passphrase. Learn how to add a sync passphrase.
   

Note: If you're using a Chromebook at work or at school, your administrator might choose to turn off sync. If so, you won't be able to sync your information.

Delete synced information from your account

You can delete your synced information from your Google Account at any time:
