Samsung Kies, or Key Intuitive Easy System, is a Windows and MacOS application that allows Samsung mobile users to connect their smartphone to their PC. This application is meant to make it much easier for users to synchronize data between their different devices.

Samsung Kies supports the Feature phone and smart phone or tablet before Galaxy Note III. By connecting your mobile device to Kies with a USB cable, users are automatically notified of any available updates and firmware that could improve the function of their mobile phone.

No worries: if your device is a newer Galaxy note, you can opt for the Kies Mini version that is available for an even greater set of Samsung devices. However, some of the functionality of the app is limited, providing more of a "plug and play" file sync experience for users.

Additionally, Samsung is slowly phasing out Kies for a new software known as Samsung Smart Switch, which helps to migrate customers onto new Samsung devices.

Due to recent updates, it's now possible for users to connect their mobile device through a wireless LAN network. However, connectivity may be slow and cause file syncs to perform less expediently.

Users appreciate the Samsung Kies application because it allows them to improve their mobile and desktop workflow. If you've got important data that you need to interact with on your PC, it's as simple as connecting your phone to your device in order to perform a sync.

No matter the data type of the files on your system, Samsung Kies intelligently handles faults, errors, and formatting issues. This makes it as seamless as possible to connect smartphone specific file types to your computer, regardless of whether it's a MacOS or Windows system.
