Cameron, the only part of your message that made sense was "I not an expert". Even then, you got that wrong.
Is there any update on this function? I would like to clear files in "Recents" so that others are not able to view files that were previously opened. This is a family account that we all share - this is a privacy issue. It is almost time for me to renew my subscription..I won't be renewing because of this issue.

Everyone... Please refrain from the personal attacks... towards Dropbox, the Super Users and the other commenters, or this thread will be closed. Keep it civil and on topic. Thank you.
Maybe if the problem were fixed the personal attacks would cease. They arise from nearly 2 years of inaction on what seems to be a simple problem.
Rich R.,
That is an interesting way to deal with a real problem.
This entire thread at that length (over one year) would not exist if dropbox was doing something about it.
You have developers posting here who claim that a preferences on off toggle would not be that hard to
implement.
As for personal attacks, we should take that as people venting their frustration about the apparent non action.
Not everybody can stay calm and collected when they feel they are being ignored.
Telling people that "We will take it to the dropbox development team" may be okay for a month or so,
but what is going on here is really unacceptable.
The majority of the comments is made by reasonable people and "on topic".
That is what you should go by, not the few inappropriate ones.
Thank you
What he said.
So annoyed by this answer. Sick and tired of hearing NO YOU CANNOT REMOVE YOUR INFORMATION AND THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP DROPBOX FROM STEALING THIS INFORMATION. Sick of this lame excuse and "I will pass this on to th..." Well them make a way to remove the date that belongs to us!
+1 this would be a very appreciated feature in both mobile and web versions of Dropbox.
- Seriously this needs to be in a new version fix
Please stop forcing us to share our private information when we do not want to. We want it removed. No personal attack. I, personally, would like a "DropBox" that is designed for adult use, not geared towards 16 year old school kids. I dont need this program telling me my activity. I am perfectly capible of monitoring it myself.
Regards,
