"File synchronization" Definition:
File synchronization (or 'synching' or 'syncing') in computing is the process of making sure that two or more locations contain the same up-to-date files. If you add, change, or delete a file from one location, the synchronization process will add, change, or delete the same file at the other location.
File synchronization may be one-way or two-way. In a one-way sync, also called mirroring, files are copied only from a 'source' location to a 'target' location, or locations, but no files are copied back to the source location. In two-way sync, files are copied in both directions, keeping the two locations in sync with each other. The term synchronization is used in this article to mean exclusively two-way synchronization, in contrast with 'mirroring'.
