auto-sync

Self-updating data matching

Auto-sync is automatic synchronization—the process by which devices or applications keep data consistent without manual intervention.

When auto-sync is enabled, changes made in one place update everywhere: Turn on auto-sync so your photos back up automatically.

The feature appears in cloud storage, email, calendars, and music libraries.

Also written as autosync.
