    Thanks for the screenshot g v.!

     

    If you don't want to see these icons, you can delete them from the Dropbox folder. This won't affect the features themselves if you have them enabled or not already.

     

    Hope this helps!

What exactly happens when you delete it? I deleted that and the password feature thingy t from my dropbox home thinking it would just get right if the icon or the recommendation/ad/feature. I really hate when I have all organized and then add those features that I wasn't really using or need. I accidentally got rid of those and my files got all corrupted and I lost a very important folder. Is there any way to get it back?

 

Thank you,
