Yes, it refers to a folder that you have selected for synchronization purposes in one of the supported cloud services - Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. This is a folder you want to let MobileSheets manage - you should not edit it yourself in any way. You can then share that folder with other users that want to be able to sync to it, or you can set up a shared account that everyone uses to access it.
When I talk about a basic file sync, you would need a separate application to manage that. That application would be just synchronizing a folder of your choosing (the MobileSheets storage location) to another folder which could be a cloud or network folder. This is basically what Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive do with their applications as they set up a folder that will be synchronized to the cloud. This is more complicated with Windows devices as you need to sync C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Packages\41730Zubersoft.MobileSheets_ys1c8ct2g6ypr\LocalState regardless of what the storage location is because the database file is stored in that folder. The one thing I'll say with this approach is that you just have to be very careful to ensure that most users are only pulling changes and not pushing changes, otherwise you could wind up with a mess (this is true for the cloud sync in MobileSheets as well - always use one-way synchronizations).
