No it won't. But using the cloud storage as default file will.

Everything it does is FIRST on the local git tree, which THEN gets synced
to the cloud.

Sync to cloud in the background is poorly named. What it means
is that IFF you are using cloud storage it will always try to immediately
push the changes to the cloud after writing them locally. Otherwise it
just syncs with the cloud when you first open the file (which is kind of 
counter intuitive). So this part of the logic (and it's documentation)
clearly needs some work.

I'm not sure I explained that part well.
