Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Sorry, Sync is not intended to be used with one device as a backup medium. It is not a "cloud" for data storage as has become popular in recent years. Sync has been around since 2008, long before "cloud computing" came into vogue.

To answer your question - yes, manually signing in to Sync could be interpreted as adding a new device under certain circumstances.
