Ability to remove or hide "Your recent online documents"
The landing page automatically displays "Your recent online documents". There should be an option to hide these from being displayed permanently or temporarily. I don't want other people seeing my business when I start Office 365 :-)

Thanks for sharing your feedback about the recently used documents. We are working on making this feature better in our future releases.

Again, this is important for privacy, confidentiality, and security. I notice the last update was 2016. Any progress on this? Thanks!!!

By deactivating Delve it should already be possible to hide the recommended documents: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/delve-for-office-365-admins#control-access-to-delve-and-related-features
But it dosen't work, please fix it! -

Post GDPR, a lack of attention to this is actually quite outrageous. All accross the world, teachers are using Office365 with projectors and classes full of kids. File names which might typically include student names and / or other personal info is being paraded front and centre in your dashboard.
Please, escalate this 5 year old ticket to a grown up for immediate attention.

Please! Please! Please! This is important! I work in a school and I can't teach computer science and introduce students to O365 when volatile documents appear in my recent files for my students to see!
If you push your programs into education you must consider the needs of us teachers! -

These constant invasions of our company privacy is making me regret implementing a cloud strategy. What else are you utilizing our data for? Are you analyzing how we are utilizing our information to also benefit our competitors?

I make "how to" videos to show staff... "how to"... do things in Office. Having my recent/recommeded documents come up is a privacy issue for me (and possibly staff/students). It would be very helpful if this could be disabled.

OMG NOT ONLY THE FRIKKING SUGGESTIONS CAN'T BE DISABLED, YOU CAN'T REMOVE THEM. IF YOU RIGHT CLICK AND CHOOSE "REMOVE FROM LIST" AND REMOVE EVERY SINGLE RECOMMENDATION. ONCE YOU CLICK OUT AND GO BACK THEY COME BACK!!!! THIS IS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE USER WISHES. I HAVE REMOVED ALL DOCUMENTS RECOMMENDED FROM THE WEB AND THE DESKTOP APP BUT THEY KEEP SHOWING UP!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PPL... WTF... THERE IS NOT A SINGLE USER WHO WANTS OR ENJOYS THIS ****** FEATURE. WHO EVER CAME UP WITH THIS MUST BE PRETTY HIGH ON THE COMMAND CHAIN SINCE IT'S A BS FEATURE BUT WE STILL HAVE TO SWALLOW IT. PLEASE THANK THE ASSUMING A HOLE THAT THINKS HIS/HER IDEA WAS BRILLIANT. BYE.

It is 2020 and I am on the phone with Microsoft O365 support and they can't figure out how to do this yet. Maybe in another 4-years?

A recent update now means I get shortcuts to all my work files on my own laptop and I have lost my own shortcuts. How do I turn this feature off?

Get rid of this now - what are you waiting for? Someone paying you to keep this?

I agree with the others. I don't want it, I don't need it, I want an option to bin it!

At least give the option to permanently collapse this setting. I can pin documents I need frequently. The recommended pane is not useful, takes up too much room and is distracting.
