File synchronization allows all the work done at home to be instantly added to the work desktop (or the office's server) as soon as the laptop is connected to the office network. The most typical example of a situation where you might want to use file synchronization would be an office worker who uses a laptop both at home and on the network at the office, or one who uses a laptop to take work home. When the computers are connected again, any changes or additions will be carried over to the other system. This allows 'offline' work, where a computer disconnected from its file synchronization 'partner' can be used to work on the shared files. New files created on one system are replicated to the other, as are changes made to existing documents. Whenever changes are made, or at specified points, the computers communicate and share any changes that have been made to the directory or files. Files from a specified directory on one system are mirrored to a directory in a second system.
What is file synchronization? File synchronization, in its simplest form, is automatic copying. It can make your life a heck of a lot easier if you do work on more than one system during the week. Well if you have a laptop or a work computer as well as your home desktop, you should know about file synchronization.
