MobileSync is the only mobile synchronization system that enables both personal and shared workspace data to be synchronized simultaneously. This ensures that users have all their relevant data available at their fingertips. Real-time push messaging and over the air (OTA) synchronization allows access to emails, attachments, contacts, calendars, tasks and notes* from a mobile device.
To set up MobileSync, first configure a device following the instructions below or from the drop-down on the left for your device. This can be a smartphone like an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy (Android), BlackBerry** or a tablet like an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy Note.
After a device(s) has been configured:
*A Windows Phone is required for Notes synchronization.
**For users with legacy BlackBerry devices (pre BlackBerry 10), installing a sync client is required to synchronize data between the portal and the device. Click on the link provided in the MobileSync configuration to install the sync client for legacy BlackBerry devices.
