The term "sync" does not appear in the BBEdit user manual in the context of syncing text files. I believe BBEdit probably doesn't support multiuser simultaneous access to text files.
Mac apps that support document handoff natively support that, though. For instance, you can open an Apple Pages file on multiple systems logged into the same iCloud account. I don't think BBEdit supports that for text files, and I'm pretty sure Notebooks count as text files. It would be nice to be shown wrong, though.
