Options available in the Sync Meter Context Menu :

View Backup/Synchronized files:

Enables you to view those files that have already been synchronized. View not Backup/Unsynchronized files: Enables you to view those files which have not been marked for sync.

View files Pending Backup/Synchronization: 

It shows those files that are marked for sync but their synchronization is not yet complete. Sync may be pending due to one of the following reasons:
1.The files are still in the process of being synced.
2.The files are part of a version set but are not the top element, so their synchronization is pending
