Umm, how do they know this if the sync is secure and only peer-to-peer?

Good point.

Not sure if this has anything to do with it but by default, "Use relay server when required" is checked for each folder you share. But I would hope that it doesn't go through a relay server all the time.

Transfers being peer-to-peer doesn't prevent them from collecting statistics in the client.
