New 3.0 Version of Samsung's SideSync Desktop App Now Works with any Windows PC

[dgstorm]

If you have been one of the few users to try out Samsung's SideSync Desktop App, you will know it is handy little Samsung app. Unfortunately, it was previously only available to use with Samsung's ATIV line of Windows laptops and tablets. Luckily, that has changed. According to recent reports, the newest 3.0 version of the app is no longer exclusive to just those devices. With the newest update, it can now be used with any Windows based PC.

Here's a quote with a few more details,

That's good for Samsung owners, since SideSync is actually one of the cooler add-on programs that the company makes. In addition to the standard backup function, it allows you to use your computer's keyboard and mouse/touchpad on your phone, or even do a full screen mirror on your computer screen. That's not impossible with regular Android, but SideSync makes it pretty easy for non-technical folks to join the fun. SideSync also lets you easily move copy/paste text from one machine to the other.

Aside from the removal of hardware restrictions on the Windows side of things, the only other new addition for the SideSync 3.0 update is support for the shiny new Galaxy S5. Of course you'll still need a Samsung-branded Android phone (with KitKat or higher after this weekend's update).

Below we have included a link to the Google Play Store so you can try it out. Come back and let us know what you think.

Thanks for the tip, leeshor!

Of course, gotta be noted that Verizon users cannot partake in this....

NO KIT KAT

Imagine that, thanks Big Red. Hopefully you are busy making sure your version of Kit Kat for my Note 3 is non functioning and full of bloatware

I have KitKat on a Galaxy S4 but Google Play says, "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." What's Up with that?

Also, I can not get it from Samsung Apps.
