I can't see my most recent files in my "recent files" tab

Since I updated and now use SmartSync the "recent files" is no longer showing the most recent files.

    Hmm. :thinking: At this point, I’d recommend taking this discussion to email to further investigate. For this reason, I sent you an email to the email address associated with your Forum profile.

Hey bartgrefte, thanks for nudging us and sorry to hear that you're also having trouble with this. 

Could you let me know if you've tried rebooting your computer or/and reinstalling the desktop app?

Thanks in advance!

Just reïnstalled it and added some files for testing. Now I do see activity, but only for a short time. It's almost like the history get's deleted the second the window closes. Until a while back, the history was kept, no matter how old the notifications were.
