Opera introduces QR-code sync between Android and desktop browser


Opera for Android and Opera for desktop are getting new updates that bring a quite a few new user experiences. These include the newly redesigned Sync feature, along with the Flow feature and Suggested Sites feature for the Opera Android version and a Easy Files feature for Opera desktop version.

Typically, when syncing data for browsers, users can sign-in with their email and password. For users who do not wish to do that, Opera’s new Sync feature allows them to sync information with a simple QR-code scan. Once the connection is established, data will be synced between Opera on an Android device and the Opera desktop browser on Windows, MacOS or Linux.

With Flow on Opera for Android, users can quickly share data such as files, links, YouTube videos, photos, and personal notes between their mobile and desktop browsers. Opera on Android is also getting Suggested Sites, where the browser will identify the most frequently visited websites and show them below the quick dial section in a new tab.

And lastly, Opera is adding a neat little feature in their Desktop browsers where users can quickly upload most recently downloaded files when sending mails, etc., without needing to browse through the file explorer.

All of the above updates are rolling out today to the respective Android and Desktop variants of the Opera browser.
