    Hi everybody,
     
    We’d like to provide an update on this topic:
     
    Keep in mind that you can completely hide the Recents section with the new modular home layout on mobile:
     
    1. Open the Dropbox mobile app.
    2. Tap the customize icon (artist palette) 🎨
    3. To add or remove a default section, tap the toggle next to Recents, Starred, Camera Uploads, 4. Viewed links, Shared, or Offline.
    5. Tap Save to save your changes.
     
    You can find more info in here.
     
    Also, based on your comments, our team is working on improving the recents list update (when an item is deleted remotely). Thank you for sharing your feedback on this.
     
    We'll keep you in the loop for future features related to this.

DROPBOX. DOES. NOT. CARE.

 

Can we get OP to edit his original post?? Put that in BIG LETTERS so ANY ONE coming here expecting Dropbox to give a squat about its customers can simply just stop wasting their time, and find a competitor to go with. In fact, can we just point them to the "Who the best competitor to switch to" thread? I'll go create one...

 

If this isn't an official Dropbox forum, that should be no problem right?
