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.
