    Could you try these steps to re-index Spotlight to see if this helps?

Hi ricstix , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are the files in the Recent folder only those in the Dropbox folder, or for any other files you use in Finder?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Hi Jay,

     

    Thanks for the response. Good question! I tried it again. Files opened that are located in the Document Folder show up in the Recent Folder after a restart, but the files that were opened in Dropbox disappeared.

      Are the files in the Dropbox folder marked as available offline, available, or online-only?

        All files show a green circle with a white tick and sync (automatically) perfectly between my iMac and MacBook.
