I have apps like Excel and Filemaker pinned to the start menu of windows 10 as tiles.  Under those tiles I also have frequently used files.  So just right click the app icon, click the file you want ...

Hi Andy P.17, how are you today? 

Can you let me know the version of the app you're using on your end by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon? 

In addition, have you tried restarting your device? If you notice the same thing there, can you send me a screenshot, please? 

Keep me posted.

    Dropbox version 142.4.4197

    Have restarted many times.  This is ongoing and I thought I'd just take time to look for a solution.  Very annoying.

     

    Screen shot is of start menu tiles where the most recent file should be at the top of the recent list.  And files in dropbox for which I"ve created short cuts can't be pinned in the list.

      Hi Andy P.17, great job on the screenshot! 

      Let me ask: are the files locally synced to the device, or online-only perhaps?
