Since then, he has mostly been faithful to the Google phone lineup, though these days, he is also carrying an iPhone in addition to his Pixel 6. After running into connectivity problems with the HTC One S, he quickly switched to a Nexus 4, which he considers his true first Android phone.
His first steps into the Android world were plagued by issues. He isn't shy to dig into technical backgrounds and the nitty-gritty developer details, either. This background gives him a unique perspective on the ever-evolving world of technology and its implications on society. He is based in Berlin, Germany.īefore joining Android Police, Manuel studied Media and Culture studies in Düsseldorf, finishing his university "career" with a master's degree.

If you edited a file on another machine and Autosync hasn't synced it over to your Chromebook yet, you'll run into syncing conflicts when you work on the older version of that file on your ChromeOS device. We managed to get sync time down to about three minutes by excluding some folders.ĭue to Autosync's manual syncing method, you'll also have to watch for duplicate files and conflicts.

A scan of our 20GB test drive takes almost seven minutes without any changes.

It also takes Autosync quite some time to spot changes on OneDrive.
