Дата публикации: 14-03-2013.Techniques for data synchronization policies are described. In one or more implementations, techniques may be employed to set data synchronization (“sync”) policies for devices in a data sync environment. The sync policies specify parameters for sync operations in the sync environment, such as how frequently data sync operations are performed, what types of data are synced to particular devices, how frequently particular types of data are synced, and so on. In implementations, the sync policies consider the number of devices that are participating in a sync environment and attributes of the devices in specifying parameters for sync operations. Data can be synchronized among devices in the sync environment based on the sync policies. 1. A computer-implemented method , comprising:aggregating a set of synchronization policies for devices in a synchronization environment, one or more of the synchronization policies specifying data synchronization parameters based on a number of sync participants in the synchronization environment;synchronizing the set of synchronization policies to the devices; andperforming one or more data synchronization operations among the devices based on the set of synchronization policies.2. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein the one or more synchronization policies specify that a frequency with which data synchronization operations are performed is determined based on a number of the devices that are active in the synchronization environment.3. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the synchronization policies specifies that high interest data is to be synced to one or more of the devices more frequently than other types of data.4. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the synchronization policies is based on a device type for one or more of the devices.5. A method as described in claim 1 , wherein the synchronization policies are managed by a synchronization service external to the devices ...
