Abstract: Examples described herein relate to the synchronization of distributed data files. A host node acquires a lock file including a first nodes-list and a second nodes-list from a central node storing a central copy of data files. A nearest node from the first nodes-list may be identified if the identity of the host node is not indicated in the first nodes-list. The host node obtains an updated portion of a latest version of the data files from the nearest node for synchronizing a local copy. The host node performs modifications on the local copy and updates the lock file by indicating the identity of the host node in the first nodes-list and the second nodes-list. The host node provides a modified portion of the local copy to the central node for synchronizing the central copy with the local copy.
