Cloud Services like Drop box, Google Drive, One Drive and many other to sync our files, So that we can use the files on any device at any time. Without transferring manually data from one device to another. It is really cool thing which is saving lot of time and helping us to continue our work from any where. How would that be if we can also sync the browser data like bookmarks, History, Passwords, Add-ons and start using them on any device. Great! right.
