Is the sync service responsible for the actual upload of the file changes?

I thought the sync service will just detect the changes and notify clients of those changes. It says so here:
“Synchronization servers will handle the workflow of notifying all clients about different changes for synchronization.”

Later, it is mentioned that:
“The Synchronization Service should be designed in such a way that it transmits less data between clients and the Cloud Storage to achieve a better response time.”

Does the sync transmit data to/from the cloud storage? Isn’t that the block server’s job?

I agree with you mate.
Have the same doubt.
Article is misleading in many ways.

@Design_Gurus i have the same question, is Sync service transmitting the data (4 MB changed blocks) or only about identifying the changes ?
