Comprehensive Review of Local and Cloud File Synchronization Algorithms with Efficient Conflict Resolution

Making sure that two or more sites have the same current files is known as file synchronization. For effective file management between local and cloud storage systems, it is crucial. However, a number of issues, including network latency, capacity restrictions, file conflicts, and user preferences, can make file synchronization difficult. In this research, we offer a complete file synchronization algorithm for easy local and cloud file management with conflict resolution that can handle many circumstances and requirements. A file system monitor, a file transfer manager, a file conflict detector, and a file conflict resolver make up our algorithm. We employ a number of criteria, including synchronization time, data transfer, and user satisfaction, to assess the efficiency and performance of our method. We show the benefits and drawbacks of our approach by contrasting it with other file synchronization options. We also talked about the obstacles and future directions of file synchronization research.
