I'm not sure if it's a recent addition or if I simply didn't notice it before, but recently, at the bottom of the open "Recycle Bin" on Windows, it has a bar along the bottom that says "View your rec...

Dropbox StaffThanks for posting on the Community, anastrophe!
Can you send me a full screenshot of what you see on your end, so that I can guide you from there?

Keep me in the loop.
Well, I've tried twice to post my reply with a screenshot, but both times the reply just vanishes into the aether.
Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Hey anastrophe, thanks for the screenshot, and added info!
It looks like this is directly linked to your OS, and not Dropbox-specifically.
In any case, your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
Thanks!
Interesting! I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper, it's such an oddly specific 'addition' to how the recycle bin works.
Thanks for checking on it!
