Hey j0shh4nxd, thanks for checking in with us. 

 

From what I understand, you're referring to the For you tab, which includes suggestions based on your activity.

 

Although there isn't currently a way to completely disable it, you should be able to right-click on a suggestion and select Dismiss.

 

In any case, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us and, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to give us another shout. 

 

Cheers!

I am trying to like the Dropbox app, but this is very annoying.  Every time I launch the app, I have to "dismiss suggestion" on about 4 items in the Starred Folders section.  Sometimes a folder is already starred and the app adds it as a suggestion anyway.

 

This is something that needs to be addressed and an option should be added to disable this feature.
