Approaches for synchronizing data files across multiple systems are described. A user-specified value of a threshold indicative of a quantity of data is input to a computer processor and stored in processor-readable memory on one of the systems. A set of files of the replicated files that are unsynchronized between the one system and another system of the systems is determined, along with a quantity of data to be synchronized for the set of files. The files in the set of files are synchronized between the one system and the other system in response to the quantity of data to be synchronized satisfying the value of the threshold. Fewer than all of the set of files are synchronized in response to the quantity of data to be synchronized not satisfying the threshold.
