When a program runs, it can have multiple threads (each thread is sort of like a seperate process). Sometimes, when 2 threads are trying to change something at the same time, it can mess things up, since there is no way to make sure which thread is running. For example, if one thread is updating a list, and it gets interrupted, and a second thread starts updating the same list, the list could get all messed up. So, to get around this, you can Synchronize a chunk of code, which means that only one thread at a time can run the section of code.

Whenever you store something in your computer, it is posible that it might get outdated and a newer version of that thing may be available from some resource(mostly internet), so you need to update your old thing accordingly. This process of updating is known as synchronization. Bye...best of luck

Synchronize checks files between different locations and overwrites the older one (if there is one) with the newer version.
