Can I remove the "your activity" files?
It seem impossible to imagine but apparently Dropbox has decided that recent activity/files in recent activity are now permanently viewable until replaced by more recent activity. Really? I hope I'm wrong. Dropbox started out as uniquely user friendly and easy to use. I've watched that disappear over the years. It's becoming every bit the arrogant, controlling, short sighted and customer unfriendly type of site that it once stood out from. Again, if anyone has different information, please share. I'm truly hoping I'm wrong.

Hey bflay, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.
Sorry to hear about your experience.
Are you talking about the "suggested from your activity" section on our website?
Would you mind sending us a screenshot of what you're referring to, so we can have a visual?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue.

This is from the DropBox icon in the system tray.
No way to clear it out. Stays forever.

I also think it is very annoying and disappointing that you would add something like this without the possibility to choose to change it. I don't want certain files to be seen by other people who might be viewing my screen, as I have several sensitive documents I work with and sometimes access on Dropbox. Please bring back the user friendly interface you used to have, without forcing these changes on us for no apparent reason.
