A "Recents" view is to be added to the Android OS soon. A simple means of disabling or easily clearing this view will be expected by users.

Why only in Android OS, why not for iOS? I am using iPhone all round. Very much appreciate it will be  update to iOS also. Please. I requested this feature quite a long time ago.

Thanks & best regards

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 clearly a pain. It just confirms that I am right to get away from dropbox.

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.

@Albert G.

I had the same problem you have. Signing out and signing back in on the iOS app should remove the deleted file from the recent list. I consider this a workaround, not a solution for something that the dropbox team needs to code.
