'''[[File system|File]] synchronization''' (or '''syncing''') in computing is the process of ensuring that [[computer file]]s in two or more locations are updated via certain rules.
In ''one-way file synchronization'', also called [[Web mirror|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. 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 this article, the term synchronization refers exclusively to ''two-way file synchronization''.
