What’s the difference between the "Sync History" and the "Activity" tab on macOS?

Question

I'm on a Mac. When I click the Dropbox icon in the Mac menu bar, there are separate lists for "Sync History" and "Activity." What is the difference in what these lists show? In my case, they both show changed files, but the lists are not exactly the same.

Welcome to the Community, @bbcal!

There’s a slight difference indeed between those two tabs on your desktop app; as the name implies, the “Sync history” tab shows additions and deletions of files that synced to your Dropbox account. This tab also allows you to prioritize which files you wish to sync next.

As for the “Activity” tab, this one displays the files you recently opened and/or edited, starting with the most recent.

Hope this clarifies things a bit.
