Turn Off Recent Files Feature

I don't like the recent files to be shown.  Can I turn off the feature or at least clear the files so they don't show up?

    Hi all,

    Thanks for keeping sending your thoughts and thanks for summarizing it Alexis. 

    You have the ability to switch off recents from your https://www.dropbox.com/account page. That currently works for web only and not mobile.

Please remove the recent folder or at the very least allow us to make it inactive.  I not long ago deleted files from my recent folder and you know what happened.  It deleted the files from the original folder shared by someone else.  They then had to place the deleted files back into their folder.  I do not care for it.  Looks like there are quite a few people that do not care for it.  I'm still trying to understand why it was done that way.
