sync - What exactly is synced with Google?


If you enable syncing to Google, what exactly is synced in a more technical way? E.g. about syncing app data, I guess there is just one standard path synchronized? Has anyone seen a more technical documentation of the synching, that describes, what exactly is synchronized?



Answer



Google Dashboard is a service for accessing a simple view of the data associated with a Google account. With Dashboard you can also get a list of your Android apps that store data in the Google cloud, the dates of their latest backups, the amount of storage they use, and some additional data such as the date you first registered the device. To access this information:



  1. visit Google Dashboard at https://www.google.com/dashboard

  2. enter your Google username and password, and log in


  3. scroll down to section "Android devices"

  4. click the "More data stored about this device" link under your device names's entry
