<a name="2.3"></a>2.3 Use DataSync Center to synchronize files on your computer and share them with other people
Data can be synchronized as described in 2.2.2. A local NAS folder, known as the local path, and the remote NAS folder, known as the remote path, can be used as shared folders in the same NAS and perform two-way synchronization. <img src="https://www.asustor.com/images/tinymce/upload_img_20231024093651_250_223_1.png" width="635" height="542" alt="" /> ASUSTOR EZ Sync will synchronize files in your computer to the EZ Sync folder in your NAS and also synchronize them to the shared folder. The shared folder can be shared and configured with other users of your NAS. Share links can also be easily created to share files with non-NAS users. With two-way synchronization, it is imperative to exercise caution when sharing to avoid losing important data. <img src="https://www.asustor.com/images/tinymce/upload_img_20231024093740_250_223_2.png" width="700" height="460" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.asustor.com/images/tinymce/upload_img_20231024093801_250_223_3.png" width="700" height="458" alt="" /> After creating a synchronized shared folder, use DataSync Center to synchronize data to public cloud providers.
