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.

Keith,

No one is ignoring the mobile apps. As I've already stated twice in this thread, which you've been through while up-voting, this thread is discussing the Recents tab on the website, which can already be disabled as default. I also posted a link to the thread discussing the mobile clients. I'll post it here again for you.

This thread is referring to the Recents page on the Dropbox website; not the mobile clients. For further discussion about Recents on the mobile clients, please refer to the following thread:
