"Recent" Folder in OS Integration

In the Mac and Windows integrations, I would love to have a "Recents" folder that's auto-populated with links/shortcuts to the most recently updated/added items.  

One use case that I would use all the time: I'm creating an email on my laptop and realize I need to include a photo of something. This usually means going to Camera Uploads and then scrolling to try to find the specific photos (when they're all labeled something obnoxious like photo-yyyymmddhhmmss.jpg by our phones).  But if there were a folder that showed the last 20 files altered in our Dropbox account, it would be so much quicker to find the photo I had just taken on my phone.

    Hey tvjames, Happy Monday! 

    The hyperlink should lead back to our idea board, in case someone wants to have a look, and go through them.

    I hope this clarifies. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions!

    Walter​ The word "idea" is linked - is that supposed to go to another idea? (It seems to just go back to a list of ideas - at least for me.)

    You might ask how this is different from the recents under the Dropbox icon.  What's different is that it would be easier to navigate to with the attachment picker in other apps.
