    Hi everybody,
     
    We’d like to provide an update on this topic:
     
    Keep in mind that you can completely hide the Recents section with the new modular home layout on mobile:
     
    1. Open the Dropbox mobile app.
    2. Tap the customize icon (artist palette) 🎨
    3. To add or remove a default section, tap the toggle next to Recents, Starred, Camera Uploads, 4. Viewed links, Shared, or Offline.
    5. Tap Save to save your changes.
     
    You can find more info in here.
     
    Also, based on your comments, our team is working on improving the recents list update (when an item is deleted remotely). Thank you for sharing your feedback on this.
     
    We'll keep you in the loop for future features related to this.

Please please get yourvteam to remove Recent files

We all have named folders to place security information in them.

Dropbox is now exposing all our private files that are usually hidden in folders to any third party who may have an opportunity to look into my Dropbox.

We all joined Dropbox to have the security which is now at risk.

You will note I have already started deleting my files and place them with another storage provider.

I we are happy with the other storge provider we will be moving all our staff tonthat provider as well

I hope wevdont have to do that as we werevvery happy Dropbox users before Recent files was introduced.
