I've jumped the apple ship, and dived head first into samsung... pool?

So I got a Samsung S7 Edge, and so far I like the phone. I'm also getting the gear S3 (once it's back in stock at amazon). For some background I really got tired of Apple's bullshit and wanted to go all Microsoft with the lackluster performance of the windows phones that's obviously not going to happen, but it seems like Android is the best option to really be able to integrate my phone and my PC.

 

Here's my question, what's the best way to do this? I know I can do it, via skype and/or google services, but I'm not sure where to start. I haven't used Android since the HTC Hero, and EVO days, so I'm totally out of the loop and the OS has substantially changed. Any help or just some direction on where to find this sort of stuff would be great.

Pushbullet is amazing for PC-Phone integration. It's a chrome extension/Windows app that integrates with your phone (download the app)

 

You can send files, download files, send texts, see notifications and reply to them all from your PC. It's super good. 

idk

You can use iTunesFusion to sync your Android to your iTunes library including movies and photos. For Cloud files, I prefer using my own server and OneDrive.

I use one drive a lot it's a nice service. I have office 365 so 1TB of storage is hard to pass up for sure.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it out and so far it looks really good. $5 a month for the services it offers isn't bad either.
