A technician configures both a laptop and a tablet to use the same cloud-based file-synchronization service. While on an airplane with no network connectivity, the technician edits a document on the laptop and saves it. A few minutes later, the technician opens the tablet and does not see the updated version of the document. Which of the following BEST explains why the change is not yet visible on the tablet?
The cloud service cannot synchronize files that were edited while the originating device was powered off.
Cloud file-synchronization services only replicate media files, not documents.
The devices must connect to the Internet before the cloud service can synchronize the updated file.
The tablet must first be paired to the laptop via Bluetooth for synchronization to occur.
Cloud file-synchronization services rely on an active network connection to upload local changes to the provider's servers and then download those changes to other devices. Because neither device had Internet access, the edited document could not be uploaded from the laptop, so the tablet has no update to download. Once either device reconnects to the Internet, the service will synchronize the new version to all devices.
