I appreciate your comments, but I'm not at all sure how this is helping?
All it's doing is raising more questions about different ways of looking at dropbox 'recent' files?

"when I look at the dropbox app's list of supposedly 'Recently Changed FIles' NONE of them are recent;y changed files.

How come this list seems to be totally random files from my dropbox storage and certainly ***NOT*** recently changed or added files?"
