I turned on iCloud Photos in the Photos app, but left iCloud Photos off in System Preferences. It confused me that there were two independent controls. Which one matters most?

Settings OFF, Photos ON, Photos download
Photos OFF, Settings ON, this forces Photos ON, Photos download

iCloud Photos setting is turned on the Photos app preferences, and iCloud Photos is turned off in the System Settings app.
