Some people deal with confidential files and use Dropbox for these. It would be very useful to allow people the option to clear their "Recent" files at will to allow more privacy and discretion.

On startup of Dropbox on my desktop (Windows 10, HP Laptop), I get a window that shows ("My Activity") the files I have updated etc in the last week/month/older. I would like to clear this history. How do I do it? (screenshot attached). Many thanks.

Hey there MarkDB,
Currently there isn’t an option to be able to remove the recent activity in the desktop app. I’ll make sure to pass this along to our dev team for review and thank you for taking the time to post in our Community today.
Have a great day - Thanks!

I also think this would be a good feature.

Companies continue to "improve" their user interface and make it easier and easier to use until the product becomes un-usable. This is such a feature. And it was implimented with no thought of privacy or security. At least with most other programs that track, they have a clear history button that works. I've explained for the 3rd time to support that "hide" is no no value when after it is done it is replced by "un-hide".
While I don't make it a habit of leaving sensitive information on my screen, I do sometimes gfet called away and by someone clicking un-hide they would know who or what I have been working on, including items that might be private.
Lets fix this, or remove the code, or give the user an option in setup to disable it.
From the first complaint till now has been 5 months.
