From within the Postman app

From the Postman app, you can access DevTools, or open the logs folder in Postman's installation directory:

With the Postman app window open, click following in the menu bar to open DevTools for the current app view, or shared:

  • View → Developer → Show DevTools (Current View)​

Note: None of the request-level information is visible to us in the logs or via our internal systems. The only collection-related information that's logged is the collection ids and user ids. 

When you grab the logs, the renderer-shared file(s) is where the data syncing is referenced and you're welcome to audit it and redact anything you might not want to share.
