Brings in the settings on the cloud. Application preferences in the second machine are overridden with the settings on the cloud. Site

Synchronizes the settings automatically. For more information, see
Opens the Sync Settings options in the Preferences dialog box.
The following scenarios help you understand the difference between Sync Cloud and Sync Local options:
Scenario 1
You change the Preferences on the first machine and sync those changes with the cloud. On the second machine too, you change the
Preferences. Then, when you click:
Changes to Preferences on the first machine are synchronized with the second machine. The changes you made on the second
machine are lost.
Changes to Preferences on the second machine are retained and are also synchronized with the cloud. The next time you
synchronize the first machine and choose Sync Cloud, these changes are reflected on the first machine.
Scenario 2
Changes to site settings on the first machine are ‘added’ to the settings on the second machine.
Changes on the second machine are retained and are synchronized with the cloud. The next time you synchronize the first machine
and choose Sync Cloud, the new site gets added to the settings on the first machine.
Any settings in Preferences that you change while the synchronization is in progress do not take effect.
Edit preferences for sync settings
Using the Preferences dialog box, you can choose the settings that you want to synchronize, specify conflict resolution settings, enable automatic
synchronization, or trigger an on-demand synchronization.
