Set up sync

How you set up sync on your Chromebook depends on whether you’re using a personal Chromebook or a work or school Chromebook and on whether you use extra security on your Google Account.

1. Sign in to your Chromebook
2. In the lower right corner of the screen, click your profile picture.
3. Select Settings.
4. Under the “Users” section, click Advanced sync settings.
5. In the "Advanced sync settings" dialog that appears, choose what you want to sync:
• Sync everything: Select Sync everything from the dropdown menu.
• Choose specific items to sync: Select Choose what to sync from the dropdown menu. Check the items you want to sync.
6. Click OK.

If you’re using a Chromebook at work or at school, you may need to have your network administrator set up sync for you.

1. Sign in to your Chromebook.
2. Open Chrome browser. In the top right corner, click Sign in.
3. Enter your Google Account password.
4. When asked to enter an "application-specific password" or an "access code," generate the password on your Authorizing applications and sites page, then paste it into the box.
5. Select Settings.
6. Under the “Users” section, click Advanced sync settings.
7. In the "Advanced sync settings" dialog that appears, choose what you want to sync:
• Sync everything: Select Sync everything from the dropdown menu.
• Choose specific items to sync: Select Choose what to sync from the dropdown menu. Check the items you want to sync.

Note: Verification codes won’t work to authorize apps and sites.

2. Choose Settings.
