    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'm adding my .02 .... This feature is a horrible decision for me. I've been a dropbox user for almost 10 years. Yesterday I had a choice to make Google Drive or Dropbox Pro. You guys just made that decision simple and easy. 

I understand the decision to try this and maybe I understand the decision to implement it. BUT when you have user after user giving the very clear reasons why we dont like this, why stay with it ?? Is it worth your reputation ? Is it worth all the hard work you put into being a pioneer in the consumer cloud storage space ? 

It's time to let go of the egos and listen to your users, before you lose more.
