Tech Tip: Raindrop.io

Images of a laptop, tablet, and phone all showing the same bookmarks.
Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager tool.

For this month’s Tech Tip, I’m sharing a tool that’s been around for a while, but I’ve really only recently begun using it: Raindrop.io. There are many services available that sync various types of data between devices. I decided that I wanted to sync my bookmarks separately from my web browser. This allows for more organization options, enhanced searching, and other unique features. Raindrop.io is one of the most widely-used bookmark managers I’ve come across, and it works very well. I like being able to customize the icons for each folder, its search works quite well, and I was able to import all of the bookmarks from my web browser. The free version is plenty for me, but you can subscribe for additional features.

What tools do you use to sync your data between devices? Please share in the comments below!
