File names not appearing in ‘Recents’
I am using the online version of Dropbox. It has been working well but recently when using the Recents tab the list displays a list of images, but the file names that contain the images are missing. ...
I was able to log in with Firefox today and the same situation occurs. The other browser that I usually use is Microsoft Edge.

Hey User1557178, bear with me while we try to get to the bottom of this!
Can you upload a brand new file, and then edit/access it in order for it to appear in your recents tab? Once you do this, do you notice the same behavior?
Also, if you click on the little down arrow next to one of the column headers, do you see 'folder' as an option there?
Lastly, for the files that are visible in your recents tab, if you click the ellipsis (...) and then File info, are the files shared from other people?
I'm asking because I just tested it, and for me the files that are missing the location next to their names are files that are shared with me from other people.
