File synchronization, or FileSync (for Cloud Computing): The process updating files in 2+ locations via certain rules. 1. In 1-way filesync (a.k.a.) mirroring, updated files are copied from a source, location, to 1+ target locations, but no files are copied back to the source location 2. In 2-way file synchronization, updated files are copied in both directions, usually with the purpose of keeping the two locations identical to each other.

File synchronization (or syncing) in computer is the process updating files in two or more locations via certain rules. 1. In one-way file synchronization, (a.k.a.) mirroring, updated files are copied from a 'source' location to one or more 'target' locations, but no files are copied back to the source location. 2. In two-way file synchronization, updated files are copied in both directions, usually with the purpose of keeping the two locations identical to each other in real time.
