Synchronizing data using a Google account
You can transfer data by synchronizing data with your account. There are several ways to synchronize data, depending
on the kind of device or content that you want to back up and synchronize. You can automatically synchronize data when
you start up your new device or synchronize manually using the app in which the content is located.
Synchronizing data when you startup your new device
When you first turn on your new device, set your Google account and follow the on-screen instructions to synchronize
content from your old device.
