Probably you have at some time told windows to save the content of a webpage offline, so when you are online it goes out and downloads the latest version of the page.

Synchronizing Means

In most businesses, there is a shared drive that everyone has access to that can be backed up on a regular basis, so if the hard drive fails, you have not lost your data and all that work. Notebook or laptop computers in the work place is common. A lot of people take their work home with them. When they synchronize their files, then the program looks at the files and compares them with what is on the network. If the person worked on a spreadsheet, then the saved version on his laptop is more recent. The synchronization takes place when the most recent file is transferred to from the laptop to the LAN, or from the LAN to the laptop. Similar terminology is when you place something in your briefcase desk icon. It performs the same function, but has a icon that might be more easily understood by the layperson.

File synchronization, in its simplest form, is automatic copying. Files from a specified directory on one system are mirrored to a directory in a second system. Whenever changes are made, or at specified points, the computers communicate and share any changes that have been made to the directory or files.
New files created on one system are replicated to the other, as are changes made to existing documents. This allows 'offline' work, where a computer disconnected from its file synchronization 'partner' can be used to work on the shared files. When the computers are connected again, any changes or additions will be carried over to the other system.

Synchronizing can be different things. In time division multiplexing, it means that the source and destination know which packet is coming down the wire now. That is when you have multiple computers hooked up on a common wire to go to the destination.
In file synch which we see more commonly now, the attributes of the file are checked and the most recent one is copied to the least recent one.
