How can I remove viewed links on Dropbox?

Thanks for reaching out to us, Mrmedo.

Can you please clarify what you mean a little?

Are you referring to Dropbox shared links that you viewed? Where would you like to remove them from?

Any additional info would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks, Mrmedo.

If you're referring to the "viewed links" section on the "home" tab of the mobile app, you can customize what's shown there, by tapping on the customize icon (artist palette).

Let me know if that's not what you meant.

There seems to be no way to move viewed links from the recents tab, which, frankly, is outrageous. This is akin to clearing browser history -- basic functionality that Dropbox doesn't have. Plus, viewed links are shared across devices. Honestly this is reason to cancel Dropbox and move to more privacy-focused platform.

Hey @Immanence ! Just to clarify, do you want to know if this info only shows on the device from which you opened a shared link, or all devices with the mobile app installed irrespectively? 

Can you also clarify what you mean by your last sentence? In general, the “Viewed links” section can be easily removed by clicking on the palette icon Hannah mentioned above, and disabling it from the given list.

Thanks!

Hi Nancy, I am curious if this info only shows on the device from which you opened a shared link, or all devices with the mobile app installed irrespectively. I opened a link while logged into someone else’s account and want to know if they will see it in their device or if it is only on mine.

Hey liv2party! Just to make sure I got it right, are you accessing their Dropbox account via the mobile app on your own device?

Yes, that is correct.

Hi liv2party, I was checking with my Team on that, hence the tad late reply. 

Keep in mind that for security reasons, sharing an account with others is not recommended. Sharing Dropbox passwords with others also violates the Dropbox Terms of Service.

You can see more about that here. 

As for your viewed links and their history, I have confirmed that they're stored locally and don't sync across devices.

In regards to Viewer Info, and if you don't want it to be displayed for anyone, including yourselves, you can always disable it on your content or for specific files or folders.

If you have any questions, I'm always at your service!
