Google sync account versus in-app refresh?

[Android Central Question]

Hi, when I select Manage accounts -> <myaccount@gmail.com> -> Sync account, I can enable sync for different google services, also for Keep Notes. There also the last sync is written. For Keep Notes it is shown that the last sync was over 10 hours ago and the sync icon is displayed. However when I go to the google Not Keeping app and I create a new note or when I create a new note on the web changes are synced, especially when I refresh the notes in the app by moving the screen down. Even if I deactivate the sync I can still refresh changes between the app and the web version by pulling the screen down. So what does syncing the service actually do compared to the in-app refresh? Thanks

Sync back up your info , especially if do factory reset , where in app refresh just refresh the content.

Welcome to Android Central! Also, remember that if the phone is idle, it won't refresh data since you're not manually refreshing it. This can be important for things like Gmail, if it's important for you to know about certain emails coming in.
