Recently Changed Files aren't...recent.

I'm baffled as to why when I look at the dropbox app's list of supposedly 'Recently Changed FIles' NONE of them are recent;y changed files.
Right at the top of the list are often files I'd totally forgotten I'd even got in dropbox!
How come this list seems to be totally random files from my dropbox storage and certainly ***NOT*** recently changed or added files?

  • Well I guess that's me very neatly swept under the carpet then!
    Even though Dropbox for Linux Mint is advertised and available for download for Linux Mint, Dropbox are not prepared to look into problems with it!
    Wow....
    I guess "I'll get my coat!"

    Hi Megan 😊
    The question about the version history of the file mentioned in the web browser version of dropbox, was a sideline, and irrelevant to my initial problem and question which is about my Linux Mint version of the dropbox app which shows a random list of files in my dropbox folder but they are certainly not 'recently changed'

    Thanks for the screenshot. As we currently only provide official support for Ubuntu and Fedora, we wouldn't be able to provide much more assistance for what you're experiencing in Mint.

     

    There isn't really anything else we can add as to why these files are appearing in the recently changed files section.
