Send links to phone and vice versa

Feature

A simple button or key combination that can send the currently open tab in the synced phone or devices. It may give the list of devices that have been listed to sync and then the user can choose which device.

Why?

This feature usually comes through some third party software or in the case of Mozilla Firefox it is inbuilt. Would love to see this feature in this. It is a major productivity booster and is appreciated by a lot.

We can even add some more things like pasting clipboard on another device or send some file.

I think this could come with the normal “tab sync”-feature and maybe some kind of folders for open tabs.

The folder structure (derived from the “new page overview”) on any open client could be:

  • Open tabs on mobile devices
  • Open tabs on desktop devices

With this you could easily send tabs to the other devices open tabs folder.

Would be a nice feature, +1!

I added my ideas to the GitHub Issue:

This is the post i was looking for. Opera browser has a feature called “Flow” that lets the user quickly send a link of an open browser, or manually type in any notes they want and send it to the shared device board. it is basically like being in an SNS chat where each side is/are devices owned by you.

for me personally, that is the MAIN feature that keeps me using Opera for personal use while i use Brave for work. if such a feature comes to Brave I will gladly switch all of my browser usage to Brave full time.

Good that I used the search before creating a new post for the same topic :slight_smile:

I am coming from Chrome and this is, imo, one of the best features in Chrome, that you can send tabs to your devices with a few clicks.
Please implement! :smiley:

I would love this too!

In this reddit thread it says Sync v2 comes with PC to mobile tab sharing.
From what I understand v2 is coming soon, it’s all ready in night builds so we just have to keep patient a little more until official.
Just backup your Brave Default folder whenever Brave requires an update. You don’t want to lose anything, support here is extremely slow and you can easily wait months before someone aaeven tries to resolve your issue.a
Talking from experience.

Sync V2 is already available in brave Version 1.12.112 Chromium: 84.0.4147.125 (Official Build) (64-bit) even tough i haven´t tested out.
