    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.

I just can't believe that Dropbox so reputed and useful has turned into vagabond role as not to listen to its customers. It has acted as even to goon as it has managed mobile phone companies to install Dropbox as default app. Sheer mighty entity which has turned into moron which could be saviour. God bless.
