sync
Short for synchronization; the technical process in which data is aligned between several devices or systems to bring them to the same, up-to-date state.

'Sync' is a shortened form borrowed from English of the German word 'die Synchronisation' (synchronization). It has become established as a common term in technical language.
Ich muss kurz einen Sync machen, damit meine Kontakte aktuell sind.

The word 'Sync' is used mainly in colloquial language and informal contexts, especially when talking about computers, smartphones, or other digital devices.
Warte, der Sync läuft noch, die Dateien sind noch nicht auf dem Server.
Wait, the sync is still running; the files aren't on the server yet.
Common verbs are 'einen Sync machen' (to do a sync) or 'den Sync starten' (to start the sync). It is also often used in compound words such as 'Daten-Sync' (data sync), 'Cloud-Sync' (cloud sync), or 'Kalender-Sync' (calendar sync).
Der automatische Daten-Sync zwischen meinen Geräten spart mir viel Zeit.
The automatic data sync between my devices saves me a lot of time.
update
Aktualisierung and Sync can both bring something to a more recent state. Aktualisierung emphasizes bringing something up to date, while a Sync aligns multiple devices or systems with one another. Use Aktualisierung for a single data set and Sync when multiple data sets are meant to match.
Nach dem Sync waren die Daten auf dem Handy und dem Laptop gleich.
After the sync, the data on the phone and laptop matched.
Nach der Aktualisierung zeigte die App den neuesten Datenstand an.
After the update, the app displayed the latest data.
