Like most android phones it will most likely be drag and drop. But if you want to sync your music their are some great options you can use double twist, or you can use winamp (which has free wifi syncing) and who knows how many others. Your phone as always will be sync with google services calender, gmail, etc.
Umm USB Mass Storage?
When does an Android come with Syncing software?
Unless by Galaxy Nexus you mean iPhone and my sync software out mean iTunes.

Nexus phones usually don't have that kind of software since the things you would want to sync are synced to your Google account using the internet anyway.
In my opinion, syncing with a computer is something that shouldn't be necessary anymore and it isn't for most things.

When ICS was announced, Matias Duarte detailed that Chrome Bookmarks will sync with the browser as a part of the software. No drag and drop/sync needed.

Android phones don't require a Syncing software. Basically syncing is an option. With an Android you can literally own the phone for years without ever needing to connect it to a computer. Everything from apps to upgrades do not require a computer. When you download an app from the Android market on your desktop/laptop it does not require you to connect your phone, it installs the application for you downloading over the air.
Edit: Android was meant to be an accessible OS. That meant that no strings would be needed. The idea of android was to be able to create one OS that could run on multiple devices of different classes. This would mean being distributed in countries where computers where computers are not accessible. Android does not require a computer allowing it to be sold in markets where competing phone OSs do not have a chance.

How do you get music from your computer to the phone if it isn't connected ?
Stream it from the internet or do what I do and push it over your home network with adbWireless

I have unlimited data no problem for me I also use google beta and paid pandora and hardly use my own music on my phone but for people that don't have unlimited data your going to have to connect to get that music synced so is it drag and drop for this or is it some software ? connection required
Drag and drop. Android always has been and hopefully always will be. There's nothing more annoying and unnecessary than sync software.
Well I don't expect someone to try to but it is more then possible to use an Android device without connecting it to a computer at any point in its life. If you want music you can download it from a cloud storage like Amazon or Music beta.
...I think for the first month of owning my Galaxy Nexus I will not connect it to my computer at all. 10gb data in one month.
That will be cool..

The way I have my Google Music set up:
- I installed the Google Music software on to my computer and have it configured to sync all my music
- I have iTunes so when I download new music it syncs automatically with Google Music.
Sorry, still no connection required
P.S. If you don't have iTunes, Google Music will sync with specific folders on your computer.

How does this not require a connection?
The Google Music Beta software syncs music on your computer to the cloud, you'll still need to use bandwidth on your phone to get the music from the cloud to the phone. Unless you drag and drop your iTunes music folder to the phone, or use yet another piece of software to sync music from iTunes to your phone.

Not sure what you mean...
1) Android phones don't use or need syncing software. You just USB mass storage and drag-n-drop files into the phone
2) if it did come with software, how would we EVER know? The phone doesn't exist in the wild yet...

yeah I use bandwidth by streaming using the Google Music app. By Connection I thought he was talking about a physical connection (USB).

Currently, I download podcasts on vista desktop. I then synced it with the phone. Can you do the same from phone, bypassing download to vista?
BTW, the zune application that is on the phone, is that only a player and to download podcasts I need full blown zune software?
Thanks
Good question. I hadn't considered looking for that until you just asked, but I don't see any way to download podcasts from within the app. It works great with the Zune client on PC though, and the software blows iTunes away.
I haven't tried this but I see no reason why you couldn't subscribe to a podcast via an RSS reader or manually download them via the mobile browser.

Correct. I've been using a Zune HD (I'm in the UK) and on the Zune software from the Podcast section in the Collection you can manually enter RSS feeds or download individual episodes.
I would think it's the same for WP7.
No reason you can't you an RSS reader like yomomedia can't downloadthose for you but Zune really is the way to go with WiFi syncing them automatically.
So there is no way to add a new podcast and update the podcast directly from the phone??
This is totally absurd.

yomomedia can directly download any podcast you subscribe to automatically. I just choose to use zune since I don't need them immediately as they are available.

Actually I really love the Zune part and the OS interface.
But some missing features are really boring. But I'm sure MS will add them soon.
not so quick
You can set up a wireless sync with your wifi at home. The phone will use your wireless connection between your computer and phone to sync whatever podcasts you are subscribed to. Syncing begins after you have your phone plugged in for 10 minutes. I agree that a file manager would be helpful, but that may have to wait until the phone is cracked. In the meantime there is a ton of software available and its only going to get better.

Usually people mainly need their podcasts (and the updates) when they are outside. Not when they are home.
This is why I think the necessity to sync with Zune is kind of absurd regarding podcasts.
This shall be done directly from the phone, as usual.
I usually sync my podcasts to my Zune before going to bed then I'm all set. Never felt the need to update outside .
I know of Klies for syncing files but with my Mac, the only option I have is to see the files from my phone and upload them to my computer but I cannot add files to the phone through Klies.
I was wondering, besides connecting my phone to a USB or taking out my battery and using the MicroSD is there a wireless way for me to sync my music/photos/videos/etc to the Galaxy S2 (through the phone or any other APPS)? I also have a Mac so that might be a thing to know as well.
Also, any apps or is there any way I can get itunes to sync a playlist to the phone instead of me going through all my music files one by one and dragging it into a folder to sync with the S2?
Thank you XDA.
Wow, someone actually likes syncing with iTunes instead of just dragging the files into a folder.
Easiest way would be to use Google Music beta and just sync your music with the cloud, always have access to everything from the cloud. Downsides are everything cloud-related. I understand it can cache things on wifi to keep data usage down, but still not as convenient as having it on the SD.
I also hear that Winamp can sync up your library, but I have no experience with that.
Try the market app iSyncr WiFi and iSyncr for mac.
They used to be only so-so but now there awesome
My only pc is a 27in IMac so I've had to deal with this many times with mobile and iSyncr wins

Klies only lets me take files from my phone but does not let me add music/pics/etc unless i'm doing something wrong.
any advice (im on a mac btw)
Hi!
What desktop apps are available to sync (read: transfer back and forth) music, videos, and photos for the Galaxy S III (which you know only supports MTP; no microSD card)?
I already tried:
1) Kies locks up when downloading podcasts, doesn't "Transfer to Device" (just sits there), and doesn't integrate with Google Play (!).
2) DoubleTwist and Miro (tried both) only support USB Mass Storage and not MTP.
What...is this even possible? I'm a little taken aback, seeing as this phone is purportedly the top Android phone out now. I just want it to sync with Google Play, add some podcasts, and move some photos around. And, honestly, I can just download the files from Google Play, so I just want to add podcasts and move pictures, lol.
Thanks in advance.
AFAIK its Kies or bust. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Shucks, you might be right. So, I tried Kies again. It actually did "Transfer to Device!" But, for whatever reason, it took about a few minutes to start (some file I had was missing and it got stuck).
And, for whatever reason, now Podcasts are downloading, too! Humph...maybe I was having a bad day with it. But, no Play Store integration: I guess I don't really need that.
Thank you for the reply; it motivated me to try again!

Check out easy phone sync... It's not available in some regions. For music, I use easy phone tunes to sync with itunes.

Hi guys, I've just learned that the Note 2 doesn't offer exclusive access to the partition, hence no mass storage mode when connected over USB. My issue right now is syncing with iTunes via DoubleTwist still goes through as a "Generic Device" but I cannot see the music anywhere on my phone, either through both my music players (Jet Audio/DoubleTwist) or physically in a file.
Any ideas or suggestions of where to find this music would be appreciated.

Turns out it never synced in the end. Got Airsync and worked out beautifully after needing to get my computer to sync through though I will try isyncr to compare.

If there are any issues with iSyncr USB or WiFi, please contact me at [email protected]. Would be happy to help with anything that is going on with our application.
Take it easy.
This new iTunes sync app just came out called 'iThink", check it out.
I use my Note for studies and have gotten rid of all paper and almost all books. I'm thinking of buying a Note 12.2 in addition to my 10.1. I could read something on the one and take notes on the other tablet.
I would like to have both synced up, so it doesn't feel like I have two devices and I have to manually transfer files all the time. All apps and settings, all files should sync preferably via bluetooth or a usb cable. So basically I would like both devices to be the same at any given time. I kinda want to have the feeling of having multiple monitors on a desktop pc. If you could move app windows between two devices that would be the best.
Datasync seems like it could do what I need.
Does anyone have experience using multiple devices? Is it a good idea? That is double the cost when it comes to upgrading, I'm not quite sure yet if it's worth it.

Evernote will sync with all devices and also PC if you install the necessary parts on all devices....
I was thinking some sort of cloud storage as well. Is that not an option for u?

I have had great success with Dropsync.... syncs between my various android devices. Uses regular dropbox account.
EXCEPT that last night my Note 10.1 upgraded to Kitkat and since then it will not establish a sync. It recognizes the device folder, but cannot load folders from dropbox. I'm stumped. Tried a lot of things and finally have an e-mail into the developer.
Bar
Would like to resurrect this thread without starting a new one. Maybe I am not searching for the answer correctly.
I am having an issue getting my S Notes to sync between my Note 3 and the 10.1. I can make edits ok and choose to sync with Evernote but the changes do not replicate on the other device. The problem occurs both ways.
I know I don't use S Note as heavily as some but it is a very handy app. Just want to be able to use both devices with somewhat of a real time sync.
Any ideas out there?
You need dropsync.
