We are aware of the issue with the badge emails resending to everyone, we apologise for the inconvenience - learn more here.
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 hate this Recents feature so much. Why not give us the ability to just turn it off. I don't need it displayed so promimently. Windows has both the ability to clear recent files and also not show them in the Start Menu, both of these features are what is needed to solve this issue for all of the people that have been complaining about this since 2015 (based on all the other threads)
