I am using SideSync on My Samsung Galaxy S6, I finally got it working with SideSync after connection it via USB (more on that later).

1. Open SideSync’s dashboard on you PC and click on start.
2. Open SideSync application on your smartphone and tap start.

Note: Make sure both the devices are connected to the same WIFI connection.

3. Give it some time and the devices should show. Tap on the devices to connect.

The devices did not show? It just says, “Starting SideSync”.

I personally had the same problem. If for some reason, you are also not able to connect you phone to SideSync on your PC via WIFI, use a USB Cable instead.
