In case you want to sync between multiple devices, networking is the least hassle way. > Why is there no affordance of user-level choice/control that allows users to explicitly see the exact packets of data being sent off device? It would be trival for apps to have to present a list of allowed IPs/hostnames, and users to consent/not otherwise the app is not allowed on the play store. I don't know that it ends up being useful, because wherever the data is sent to can also send the data further on.
