Google Chrome Sync


Introduction

Google Chrome Sync backs up your data and settings to your UMICH Google Account.  You can review and update your synced info on all your devices, such as bookmarks, history, and other settings.  If you change devices (for example, if you lose your phone or get a new laptop), you'll get your synced info back.

 

Turn on sync in Google Chrome using your UMICH email (uniqname@umich.edu).
