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 can download images normally in folders that are then shown in All Files. When I go to recents only the images (IMG) are shown without the corresponding folder name. In recents there is an arrow by NAME but that just changes order of the list up or down. The ellipses allow a check of file info which shows the correct file. I don’t access shared folders, as I upload the images directly. If I double click on an image it takes me to preview where the file is listed an I can access the file that way, although is awkward.

Hi again, User1557178, thanks for the reply!
Would you mind trying Megan's suggestion again with the arrow next to your column headers? To give you a visual, I'm attaching a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

I know it's not showing up on my screenshot, but if you hover over the spot I circled next to the "Name" column header on your recents page, you should see a little arrow; that's the one we need you to click on.
If you click on that, do you see a "folder" option?
