Take a Quick Look
Data synchronization ensures consistent, accurate, and secure information across systems and devices. The article provides setup guidance and troubleshooting tips for data sync in AdsPower.
You rely on data synchronization every day, even if you don't always notice it.
Imagine if every clock showed a different time—life would be a mess. Meetings and flights would be missed, deadlines wouldn't matter, and days would be all over the place.
In business, data synchronization is super important. When companies make decisions based on wrong, old, or mixed-up data, big problems can happen. But what exactly is data synchronization, and how can it help your business?
This article gives a quick rundown of what data synchronization is, why it matters, and how to use AdsPower to get it set up, plus some fixes for common data synchronization issues.
What is Data Synchronization?
Data synchronization ensures that information remains consistent and current across multiple devices or systems. This process is continuous for both new and existing data.
Ensuring data synchronization is essential for maintaining up-to-date information throughout its lifecycle. Real-time updates help avoid errors, prevent privacy breaches, and ensure that the most current data is always accessible.
Data synchronization offers these essential functions:
-
Data Consistency: Keeps data uniform across various locations or systems.
-
Data Cleaning: Checks and cleans incoming data to avoid errors and duplicates.
-
Data Integrity: Applies data modifications in real time across all systems to ensure accurate records.
Why Do We Need Data Synchronization?
Data synchronization is essential for maintaining consistency and optimizing business operations. Here are some key reasons and benefits:
- Ensuring Data Security
Data is a vital asset for any business. Proper and continuous data synchronization prevents data corruption and loss, ensuring all systems have the most up-to-date information. This reduces the risk of data breaches and enhances overall data security.
- Maintaining Data Quality
Manually modifying data is time-consuming and error-prone. Data synchronization can automatically update and correct data, reducing human errors and improving data accuracy and consistency. This not only saves time and costs but also prevents errors that could have significant impacts.
- Optimizing Data Management
Effective data management relies on accurate data. Data synchronization helps maintain data consistency and accuracy, providing a solid foundation for effective data management. This ensures that business decisions are based on reliable information.
- Facilitating Data Harmonization
Data harmonization involves gathering, transforming, and integrating data from multiple sources into a consistent, accurate, and meaningful format.
This integration makes data analysis and visualization easier, helping businesses achieve their goals.
In modern enterprises, data from various tools and systems are often fragmented; data synchronization can align this data, improving efficiency and decision-making.
Overall, using data synchronization tools not only makes a company’s data more secure and accurate but also simplifies the data analysis process, enhancing overall business efficiency and reliability.
How to Synchronize Data with AdsPower?
In AdsPower, the data synchronization feature is disabled by default to ensure user data privacy.
AdsPower will not sync any data automatically without explicit user permission.
If you need to sync browser profile and extension data, you can manually enable this feature.

FAQs
Why didn't my data synchronize successfully?
1. First, please ensure you upload the extensions in our Extensions section and upload your bookmarks in the Global settings as shown in the screenshot below.
If you set the extensions and bookmarks in the profiles yourself without using the AdsPower settings, the data will not sync successfully.
2. Also, make sure you have enabled the Data Sync functions in the Global settings.
3. Synchronization occurs when closing the profile. You need to open the profile, log in where necessary, then close the profile, wait for the data to synchronize (wait until the profile button becomes active again), and only then open it on new devices.
4. If you have completed the above steps and the problem still exists, please click the button in the lower-left corner or email support@adspower.com to contact our online support for assistance.
Why can't I open the profile? It keeps saying "Cache data sync failed, please retry." What's up with that?
This occurs because the option "The browser won't open if extension data fails to load" is enabled in the Global settings and the last user who opened this profile did not successfully upload the data.
To resolve this, have that user open the profile again to upload the data. You can check who last opened the profile in the Action Logs.
