Some people deal with confidential files and use Dropbox for these. It would be very useful to allow people the option to clear their "Recent" files at will to allow more privacy and discretion.
I know there was a thread about this two years ago, but has this been changed since then? Is there any way to clear recently viewed files from the home page?
Why can’t you program so we have the option to clear our recents file with out deleting the file
Yeah it's bewildering that they cannot give us the option to clear... or turn it off. I just posted and didn't see this thread. I mean come on! If i was only accessing 'kid friendly' content then, sure why not, but people all around access personal, sensitive information all the time and don't want it "splash screened" as the first thing!
It's bewildering, that there isn't an option to do this and it's because it has been asked time and time again. It has been requested multiple times and through years and it seems like a very simple thing to do.
Having a "Recent Files" is helpful for some but not others. People access personal, sensitive information on their Dropbox and maybe do not want that displayed on the first screen. It seems you're following the path of Google as well because it is hard to turn off Recents there. I'm not sure why you wouldn't include it as a feature.
Yes, I get the argument, it's easier for teams to work with "Recent Files" on, but let's be honest, not everyone is working in teams and people have personal use cases for Dropbox. I don't like my financial scans and statements popping up on the Recent screens and I'll be honest, I don't want "kid unfriendly" content out on the splash screen either.
So you really need a way to turn this off. Or are you going to say use Vault and mark the issue as solved?
