Sync results under "Your Activity" show yesterday's synced files not today's.

Hi sfwrtr, just for clarification, is this only when files are updated via the mobile devices, or from the website as well?

Could you try updating a file directly on the Dropbox site, and then see if this shows up on the 'Today' list?

I used the Dropbox App on the iPhone to upload an image, then thought better of it and created a text file. Surprisingly, they both showed up in the Today column after about a minute, BUT...

This is so strange, I had to do screen captures. I think I found a related different bug, probably two bits of code trying to populate the Today column with different criteria. The Today column shows content, then it disappears, then it shows again. Again, a picture (three screen captures) is worth a thousand words. Note the time stamps. Each time I clicked the notification icon.

Really, all I want to see is a scrollable list of recently downloaded files. Before the current iteration of the desktop icon, this worked perfectly well. Somebody in Q/A is not dogfooding the app mobile vs Mac desktop.
