60 Chapter 5 : Copy files and sync your personal data
On your smartphone and on your computer: You can set up a sync
relationship between your smartphone and selected desktop organizers.
Different kinds of sync relationships are possible using third-party solutions.
This enables you to create and change data in one place—on your
smartphone or in the desktop organizer—and have it show up in both
places.
On your smartphone only: Store and create contact and calendar data in
your Palm profile account. It’s backed up to your Palm profile in the cloud.
You cannot create, change, or look at your Palm profile account data except
on your smartphone.
NOTE Data that you store in your Palm profile account cannot be accessed
anywhere but on your smartphone. Palm profile account data is backed up daily.
No one, not even you, can see that data.
For further information about getting personal data onto your smartphone,
see palm.com/migrate-webOS.
What do we recommend? We recommend that you set up a Google
account and move your contacts and calendar data to the cloud. That way,
you can access, create, and change your data both on your smartphone and
in your Google online account. The remaining personal data that you create
on your smartphone—tasks and memos—are automatically backed up as
part of your Palm profile.
Use the following table to review your options. Then click the link to learn
how to complete the solution you choose for your personal data.
These solutions are not mutually exclusive. Do what works best for you. You
could potentially use all these solutions. You could, for example, sync several
online accounts, including an Exchange account; sync data with a desktop
organizer using a third-party solution; and store and create new data in your
Palm profile account.
