Recent Excel and Word Docs not appearing under Recent Tab

I did not install anything new and my computer just snoozed overnight and all a sudden this morning NONE of my pinned Dropbox files are appearing under Excel or Word. I reset the apps, reset the computer and still no luck. I cleared the jump list and that didn't fix anything. I browsed other threads and can't figure it out. I open up the excel file I want to Pin. Right click and say PIN TO RECENT LIST and it still doesn't appear there.  The only files that appear are old files saved in my Documents folder. I even made sure that the Preferences shows recent files is checked and shows the last 50 files. No luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dropbox Support actually got back to me and asked me to "QUIT" Dropbox's application that was running. 

1. Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac/Linux)
2. Click on your profile picture or initials to the right of the search bar and select "Quit Dropbox"

Then after I did that, then I tried pinning the items to the Recent tab. Once I did that, the files started to Pin. I restarted the application after I pinned a couple and everything seems to be working again!
