When you select sync for data types in Settings/[your name]/iCloud all selected content will be replicated on all devices. Adding or removing from one device will add or remove from all devices, and the amount of storage used will be the same on all devices except for photos if you enable Optimize Storage. When this is on photos and videos will be reduced to about 1/4 size on the device.

I have 128gb used on my iPad but I don’t really care for having my photos synced. I only wanted to free up storage because I don’t have enough on my iPhone but my storage seemed to be more full after trying to sync. My phone for a moment said something about not enough storage in order to do the syncing but I don’t see any synced media. I have optimise storage on also.
