How to Clear or Remove the Recent file list in mobile apps

+1 This should be easy to add - and very important for privacy reasons when using a shared device.

Please include option for clearing recent files viewed or clearing selected files from recent list.

Thanks for your answer, my question is not to disable the Recent Tab, but to clear the list only. This is for privacy and personal preference. Appreciate Dropbox team can add this function in next update.

I also feel that this is a security issue that needs resolving quickly!

I want to also petition for an immediate upgrade to at the very least clear this recent tab. It's the default view when opening the app and I use Dropbox for privacy. I don't need my kids seeing the private files and pictures that are popping up on the recent tab so I will be forced to use a different app. Please make this a priority.

This is a serious problem. I would not have used Dropbox had I known about this oversight.

And to make the matter worse, deleting a file does not remove it from the recent list: that is even more of an issue. Removing a file means exactly this: remove it, get rid of it! It should not appear anywhere - certainly not on the "recents" list.

Yes, please include both an option to get rid of the "Recents" tab and an option to clear it. How could you think it's okay to add this feature without either of those options? Now I can't use Dropbox in front of other people.

PLEASE create a way to clear recents or im leaving dropbox

Hi there!

I'm afraid that there is no way to disable the Recents tab from the Dropbox app installed on your iOS device. However, we love hearing feedback on any features that we release, so I'll make sure to pass it along.

Thanks!
