On daily basis for private and work related tasks I use MacBook Pro. When not in front of mine laptop’s screen I spend great deal of time staring at my phone’s screen — it’s Moto G4, budget Android phone. So far so good. However from time to time I need to use my old PC with Windows using data that might be stored either on my iOS or Android device.

As you can see I have 3 different devices all running on different OS.


Challenge

Keep all 3 devices in sync without using any cables — synchronization should be as quick as possible almost instant.

Solution

To keep my devices in sync and easily share content I use following 5 apps

Evernote — keeps in sync all of my personal as well as work related notes
Note: I use free version of Evernote which allows only to be installed on devices, hence on Window I use web version which works just as good as native app

Box — to keep in sync all of my files such as code samples, documents and private photos

AirDroid — managing my phone from desktop application from my laptop or PC. It just works.

Slack — used mainly as desktop app on laptop however it’s very handy to have it installed on phone as it allows me to stay connected when commuting between home and office.

GTasks — TODO list & Task List. This is Android only app however it allows synchronization with Google Calendar which then is synced with Calendar apps on Mac and Windows


That’s it.

I’m convinced that in the future if I need to add yet another device with apps listed above it won’t be any problem.
