The Dropbox Community is here to help if you have questions about your account settings and preferences. Learn and share advice with members.
How long does the dropbox app keep the sync history of files?
Do they last forever, or are they purged at intervals? Is there a setting to change how many items are shown in the sync history?
How many files does dropbox sync at once and is there a setting to change this?
Hi @manbad, thanks for messaging today!
Is there a particular reason you'd like to purge the sync history on your account? Currently, there isn't a method to manually clear it.
Regarding the number of files syncing, the Dropbox desktop application syncs one file at a time, and there isn't an option to increase this.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

The app would remove the record of files from the sync history list after a certain time has passed, or the total number of items in the list itself. You won't have a permanent list of your synced files there.
