The phrase “sync target” is used in Joplin to designate the location with which to sync, however I see it’s not frequently used anywhere else.
I wonder if there’s a more commonly used expression we could use instead? (in the UI, etc.)
Just because not many others use "sync target" doesn't mean it isn't any good!
In addition to client / server connections Jopin also has a file system sync. This means that some more commonly used terms such as "server", "endpoint" and "remote host" do not really fit.
I have just had a quick scan through the forum search results for "sync target". Of all the many and varied questions that have been asked on this forum, "What is a sync target?" does not appear to be one of them 
“Synchronisation target” is clear and represent what he do, for me it’s good.
If you change that like “Synchronisation server” you need to make a second option for the “file system”, with probably a checkbox .
Or you can put “Select your synchronization option”.
I think it’s to the point. Nothing unclear about sync target.

Great, thanks for confirming. As I’m not a native speaker I some times get used to phrases that are not really English, so it’s good to know this one makes sense. It’s also true that no-one asked what is a sync target so it must be clear enough.

On the one hand I agree with people who has said it’s not terribly confusing. On the other hand, if we are going to be picky here, I think that “sync destination” is a better descriptor, as “target” could in theory, potentially be a little bit confusing to new users who just want to keep things saved on their device.
I’m not entirely sure I follow. A target can be local and does not imply being remote.
