-There are currently two facilities for synchronizing data. One is to the Memento Cloud. The other is to the Google Sheets application via files stored on Google Drive. They are generally quite separate services, used mostly for distinct purposes.

 Then you will see all the libraries synchronized with the current Google account. After selecting a library, it will be created on your mobile device and will receive all the data from the linked Google spreadsheet.

+== Synchronization between two or more devices without the Memento Cloud, using Google Sheets ==
+To sync a library between devices, synchronization with the Memento Cloud is the recommended solution. See [[Cloud storage and Teamwork]]. If use of the Memento Cloud is not possible or desired, you can use the following method.
 # On all devices, select the same Google account. On the main device, synchronize the library with Google Sheets.
-# On the other devices, download the library, as described in previous section.
+# On the other devices, download the library, as described in the previous section.
 At this point in the library restructuring process, changes on one of the devices (for example adding new types of fields) are not transferred to the other devices. You need to repeat the procedure for linking libraries for all the other devices.
-'''Note''': Syncing a library between devices is recommended use the [[Cloud storage and Teamwork|Memento Cloud]].

-* In the Google table will be created additional column '''MEMENTO_ID''' for matching rows in a table with the entries in Memento. Don't modify or delete this column.
-* Locale on your device should match the locale in Google Sheets.
