    Hi everybody,
     
    We’d like to provide an update on this topic:
     
    Keep in mind that you can completely hide the Recents section with the new modular home layout on mobile:
     
    1. Open the Dropbox mobile app.
    2. Tap the customize icon (artist palette) 🎨
    3. To add or remove a default section, tap the toggle next to Recents, Starred, Camera Uploads, 4. Viewed links, Shared, or Offline.
    5. Tap Save to save your changes.
     
    You can find more info in here.
     
    Also, based on your comments, our team is working on improving the recents list update (when an item is deleted remotely). Thank you for sharing your feedback on this.
     
    We'll keep you in the loop for future features related to this.

Hola primero que todo, me encanta dropbox, es lo mejor!
Me gusta la app es muy buena

Sólo tengo 2 quejas
A la hora de abrir la aplicación me manda a "Recientes" no me gusta me gustaría desactivarlo

Y segunda, activando la opción de pedir código a la hora de entrar a la aplicación a la hora que doyy al botón de Aplicaciones Recientes, aparece lo que estoy viendo (aún teniendo mi cuenta con el código de acceso y la huella digital) me gustaría que no se viera nada hasta acceder a la aplicación eso pasaba en el galaxy s6 pero no en el galaxy s7.

Hi first of all, i love dropbox, it's the best!
I like the app it's pretty good

I just have 2 complains

When oppening the app it directly goes to "Recents" i don't like it, i would like to deactivate that feature

And second: I've configured my cellphone to ask the code to ented the and when i press the Recent Apps button I can see what im doing in the app, eg. i have a puppy photo open when i press the button i can see that, that didn't happened in Galaxy s6, i would like to see a blank window or something on my S7.
Greetings
