Using Join can really clutter up the recent files list making it unusable. I've been getting around this by using stars and search in Drive but recent comes in really handy.
This could be done by using an Application Data folder in Drive. https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/appdata
Recent "Join"er and began looking into this after performing my regular Drive cleanup. If regulating Join Files to the Application Data folder in Drive is more difficult, how about simply allowing us to set which directory we wish this folder to be created in under Options? It would be a step in the right direction.
I like that idea. At least then I could bury it somewhere instead of it being a top-level folder.
Hi João,
Any progress on this feature ? it would be great !
I want to add my voice to this vote as I would *LOVE* to not have the Recent view in Google Drive cluttered with the sms info from the JoinFiles folder.
You mention that the Android part is done and " Files can now be hidden from user view when I enable the option." I'm using Join on a Samsung Note 9 - is this an option that is available to me? If so, where do I find it?
Thanks so much!

Agreed. Please makes these files in my Recent list go away. Totally destroys a nice feature of Google Drive.
The Android part is done. Files can now be hidden from user view when I enable the option. The problem is now detecting whether the files are hidden or not in all other devices. I'll have to work on that now.
We certainly look forward to this item being accomplished! :) We who are heavy Google Drive users find ourselves wading through the Recents section often, and not having the Join files there would be great!
Please, my OCD is driving me crazy about this :)
You could make it optional if for some reason people prefer to have these folder visible.
Just please add the option to hide these application files like in any other app that uses google drive to store its files.
Thanks!
This would also help with the push images showing up in Google Photos. Thanks!
OMG, this would be so nice. Recents full of files like:
So many of these that recents become useless.
