Recently Modified Files

I have several folders/files that are shared. I used to be able to pull up a "recently modified" file list and easily see what had been worked on/updated/changed by everyone, not just me. Now I cannot seem to do that and instead can only find a list of files 'recently viewed' by me which is not at all useful. Can someone tell me how to find the "recently modified" list?

    I am having the same issue -- when I open a folder, I want to be able to SORT by date, not name.  "Events" does not provide what I want. I just want to see my files, sorted by the most recent to the oldest. This used to be SO easy, and the "help" page says to click on "modified" at top of list -- but that doesn't do anything.

    Thanks!

     

    Please Dropbox, don't remove this feature.

    Please Dropbox, bring back this link.

    This is the most useful view you have.

    How do we get Dropbox to bring back the link?? It just makes sense to be able to see which shared folders have the newest files, and which files were updated most recently and by whom.

    I suspect they want to reserve this feature for the more expensive account variants.

    The Events page is still available to everyone. They've simply removed the link to it.
