PushBullet is no stranger to the concept of synchronizing information across different platforms as they produce an app that does this for calls and messaging between a phone and a computer. Other companies provide similar synchronization for various functions, like Google's Chrome browser that will save and share your browsing history between devices and keep it all synced up. PushBullet goes a little bit further with their app as they have features that make it easier to share information between devices going a step beyond synchronization. For instance, you can send an address from your computer to your smartphone so it can be opened in the Google Maps app without having to type it in again. Now PushBullet is looking to expand synchronization and information sharing between devices to copy and paste functions.
In a sample video for the new Universal Copy & Paste function, PushBullet shows an example where a user copies a web site URL address from their browser on their computer. Next, on their smartphone they open an app and long press to bring up the Paste option. Choosing that inserts the item that was copied from the computer. The feature will work between mobile device and computer, mobile device to mobile device, or computer to computer.
At present, to get this working a user has to install the PushBullet app on their Android device and a Windows desktop app on their computer if they want to include a computer. They indicate versions are on the way for Mac computers and iPhones so that they can live up to the “Universal” part of their claim.
