Suppose you are using a Nokia S40 Mobile or Windows Mobile 6 and plan to switch to Mac, how would you sync contacts, sync calendars, and backup your data? Or suppose another situation where you need to sync your Mac with Google Accounts(both ways), how would you do it? By default most software(including iSync) don’t allow two way syncing, this is what makes SyncMate special.
It is a great tool that allows syncing of all your information between multiple devices and Google accounts quickly. What makes it worth is that you can also sync data between two Macs, which will come useful in two situations, when you have multiple Macs(desktop Mac and Macbook) and when you want to move to another Mac computer.
All you have to do is to add devices/accounts you’re about to sync – just click "Add connection" button and establish connection between Mac and devices or accounts (Mac<=> Nokia via Bluetooth, Mac <=> Win Mobile vie USB or Wi-Fi, Mac <=> Mac via LAN and Mac <=> Google, Online Storaghe via Internet). You’ll see device/account icon in devices list as only it is connected. Just click the desired tab, select the desired synchronization from the left sidebar, enter your basic settings, and you are done.
