Accepted answer
Where do you want to synchronize the data?
It would be better if you can store the data in a local database, such as using Entity Framework and then continue to upload the data over to a remote database (using API as you want to do this using HttpClient), or you can consider other services such as scripts to upload the database over to the web app.
But, please elaborate a bit more and then we can help you on this.

Hey there, although there is no tutorial that I can produce for you right here, but there are a couple of use-cases that I can share with you that run on mobile + cloud environments. Maybe these use cases will explain the concept, or you will be able to utilize their services.
First and foremost the best of these is the Firebase's services for realtime databases, after that Azure's mobile SDK comes in handly. Then we have a couple of options like Realm database, etc. You can check out their official documentations and study how they work.
