Turn Off Recent Files Feature

I don't like the recent files to be shown.  Can I turn off the feature or at least clear the files so they don't show up?

    Hi all,

    Thanks for keeping sending your thoughts and thanks for summarizing it Alexis. 

    You have the ability to switch off recents from your https://www.dropbox.com/account page. That currently works for web only and not mobile.

"This is one issue I always seem to have with Dropbox. What would be a junk file to one person may be an important file to me. Don't decide what is or isn't junk for us. Instead, give us the ability to filter the results ourselves."

A bit harsh, but I agree. Lots of developers or advanced users might want to have rapid access to those types of file. Personally, I think the best way to solve this would be to filter out those files by default since most people won't need them, but at the same time have a whitelist option where we can add specific folders or file extensions that the filter should ignore.
