Thread: Help with syncing Google Chrome to Android tablet

I can't get Chrome to sync between my desktop and an Android Tablet -- any tips?

The tablet is running ICS, both it and the desktop have me signed in on Chrome. Sync just doesn't do anything. Supposedly, it will sync bookmarks between all devices that run Chrome, which would be really handy if it worked.

Halp.

If you're signed into all instances of Chrome with the same Google credentials, it should sync. It may take a few hours. My Nexus 7, Widows 7, Mac OSX and Google Nexus phone are all synced up perfectly.

How long has it been since you've been signed in to all instances?

I thought it would be instantaneous.

I signed in on my desktop and tablet last night, but didn't leave the tablet turned on overnight. I'll try that tonight and see what happens. Thanks.

No worries. It took some time for all of my apps, extensions and bookmark folders to populate amongst all devices. Now, they are all good to go.

While you're at it, get the Chrome-phone-app. It's pretty neat for sending stuff to you handset instantaneously.

I just noticed: it synced my desktop (home) bookmarks with my laptop (work), but there are a lot of duplicates that I had to clean up.

Hopefully the sync feature is smart, and sync to the most-recently-changed bookmarks. Guess I'll find out later tonight.

Took two days, but now it synced to my tablet. Also synced to my new phone, faster than it did to the tablet... odd, but whatever, it all works now.
