I think the documentation is confusing. I have my working environment preferences uploaded to eclipse.org, and now I want to download it to my home machine, with Eclipse Oxygen. How can I do that? "Synchronize now" seems to upload instead of download.

It is not currently possible to download remote preferences from eclipse.org to your local Eclipse installation. There is an open Eclipse bug on that very issue:
Bug 476019 - Support synchronization of local user preferences with a remote service
The bug is unresolved but its status is ASSIGNED, so hopefully that feature will be included in some future release of Oomph. It seems that there are legal and privacy issues associated with its implementation, apart from the purely technical aspect.
There is also code for the bug on GitHub, but it doesn't appear to have been touched for a couple of years.
(And I agree that the Oomph documentation is confusing.)
