sync
Bring into alignment
Sync is a clipped form of synchronize, used as both noun and verb.
To sync devices or files is to update them so they match or coordinate with each other: Let me sync my calendar with yours.
When things are in sync, they're aligned or operating in harmony; out of sync means mismatched or poorly timed.
The term dominates in computing and electronics but extends to any coordination of timing or content: The audio wasn't in sync with the video.
