Sync Data between Android Tablet & Phone

I'm looking at creating an Android app and need some advice. I am not an Android developer but I have developed for iOS so I am writing the specification. So I am now trying to figure out the best way to sync data between Android phone and tablet?

I am the biggest fan of Firebase around but I'd rather avoid using Firebase or servers if at all possible. Does Google offer an easy way to sync data between google devices using the same google account, via Google Drive on Android?

There's content that will be favorited and pre-existing items (i.e. not user generated or customised content) that need to be checked off in their lists. If those items are removed or favorites are added on the phone for example, that change needs to be replicated on the tablet. What's the best and most cost effective way to implement this? Firebase?

Firebase is probably the easiest and cheapest route (ie free).

You can hack together Google Drive to sync user data, but FB will be so much easier.
