Syncing and backing up your data are two very different processes that if confused can lead to data loss. Check this article for more of an explanation: what is the difference and consequences of Sync and Back up?
What is backing up? | What is syncing? |
Backing-up copies data from one location to another for data storage purposes. This data can only be changed by actively changing or deleting the file and its content. In Nebo, this backup is stored as a .nebobackup file. | Syncing means that changes made to data stored in one location will be reflected across all the devices or locations where that data is accessible. Auto-sync is enabled by default, but you can switch it off at any time in Settings. Auto-sync doesn't back up your content, please use the separate Back up option in Settings. |
 Store the backup files locally, externally, on a cloud service, or share. For enhanced security we recommend storing your backup file in more than one location. |  Synchronizing your device with a cloud service, enables you to keep a copy of your notes or share and access them in Nebo across Apple, Android and Windows devices. |
