I’ve been brave and downloaded the new version of DTTG this morning (it was all done in about 5 mins and seems fine, I was just wary and not sure if I was about to derail my weekend plans in favour of troubleshooting 
). It appears that modifying a file on one device now syncs that history back to DTTP, is that correct? I’m very excited for this, it was my main issue with the previous DTTG. Many of my files are only handled in DTTG and it bothered me that the “recently modified files” list on DTTP didn’t include them. I just wanted to clarify my understanding of this and also say thank you so much for implementing it!
(P.S. I had a moment of embarrassment when I enabled notifications for the new app and it added a badge count to the homescreen. I didn’t need to see how many unread items there are in my databases 
)
Do you refer to versioning?
I don’t think so? Before, the “recently modified” list on DT wasn’t the same as the “recently modified” list on DTTG, and it bothered me because I had a smart rule that ran from the last modified date and it didn’t pick up files edited on DTTG.
Seems like now the “recently modified” date thing is universal?
Sorry if those aren’t the right terms, hopefully it makes sense!
(I like versioning too, I used it to undo a careless mistake I made this week with a big PDF and it worked great!)

Dates and modifications have been actually synchronized since the first versions of the sync. Therefore this sounds like a sync issue actually, e.g. that not all databases were enabled or the sync store was not accessible or broken.
Just to confirm what Christian says – modification dates have always synced fine for me using DT3 & DTTG3.

Sorry for the delay coming back to you on this, I needed the headspace to have a look properly. So, I was confused, and the value that I actually needed syncing between versions of DT is Date opened. This doesn’t sync, and the behaviour hasn’t changed with the new versions.
Would it be possible to add this on the list for possible development? Maybe it could be an option in settings for people who don’t want the function?
Use case:
I do most of my file reading on DTTG, but I don’t necessarily amend the files (it depends). Back at my Mac, DT doesn’t know while files I’ve accessed recently and I can’t have a smart group of files I’ve been using recently. This makes jumping back to files annoying, but also I run a small script that logs what I’ve been working with and it’s never accurate because it can’t capture what was opened on my DTTG devices.
Thanks for the suggestion, a future release might support this. In the meantime one possibility is to use a smart rule that updates a custom date after opening a document.
