I'm not exactly sure where to make this suggestion (here, Google Code,
Github). Here seems most informal, and if you'd like, I can make a
more formal feature request in the tracker(s) at Google and/or Github.

My suggestion is this: in the Android app, it would be nice to have a
quick way to send a link to a previously defined list of destination
devices. In other words, I'd like to be able to set up a list of
"Work," "Home Office," "Laptop," etc. so that when I want to send a
link from my phone, I can quickly choose a location from the list and
hit "Send" without having to worry about remembering and properly
typing the name of the desired destination.

As a bonus, it might be nice to be able to optionally select multiple
destination devices for any given link.

As an Uber-bonus, it would be cool if the Android app could somehow
"poll" the cloud to see what devices are available and automatically
populate the list.

Thanks for Android2Cloud and all the hard work that has been put
toward supporting and improving it!

Hi Paul,

First of all, sorry for all the confusion. We're working on getting everything sorted out and obvious, but I apologise for the mess in the meantime. For future reference, your best bet for suggestions would be the "Suggestions" forum in our help site: http://help.2cloudproject.com/discussions/suggestions

You'll notice, for example, a simpler version of your suggestion has been submitted already, here: http://help.2cloudproject.com/discussions/suggestions/1-multiple-chrome-installations Your suggestion, however, adds the option of selecting multiple devices, which I rather like. Would you mind commenting in that page, adding the suggestion to the list?

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! We really appreciate it. We're working hard on getting it implemented, and I plan to include it in version 2.1, which I've slated for release this summer (hopefully).

Thanks,
Paddy
