[Discuss] Syncing Android phones directly

Not unless the application developer specifically codes for that
behavior. Google Drive is one such example, one that uses Google's
storage. Evernote is another, one that doesn't use Google's storage
directly.

And while we're on the subject, pay attention to what permissions
various applications want to have. I recently went through my list to
identify and purge things that seemed suspicious. Things like a terminal
program requiring complete access to my telephone call records. Things
like a dice roller for role-playing games requiring full access to wifi
and baseband networks.
