You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

I'm missing the "Sync history" tab from my desktop app
Clicking the dropbox icon in my taskbar used to bring up something that would show all files that had been synced, and when they were synced, no matter what kind of file it was or which computer uploaded the file. This is useful for--for example--verifying that a file I think I just copied over to be synced, was in fact copied over and synced. Now the part that did that was removed, and there's just "your activity", which does not provide the same information, and just seems to decide arbitrarily which files are "important enough" for it to show. How do I configure it so that "your activity" shows ALL files that were synced, in chronological order?

Hi there Xindaris - welcome to the Community!
I don't believe this is possible at the moment, but can you please send us a screenshot of what you're referring to so that we can make sure we're on the same page?
Also, what is your computer's OS version and the status and version of the Dropbox desktop app installed there?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
Here's my best attempt to illustrate what I mean. For example, I'm syncing "history.db" from freetube here. I put it in the folder, and it shows its upload progress:
But then the file disappears from the history:
Before, "sync history" would still show the file after it finished uploading, not have it vanish like that.
Dropbox preferences say "v200.4.7134" in the bottom right corner; I'm not sure what you mean by "status". This behavior is identical across two of my computers, one running windows 10 and the other windows 11.
