How can I remove viewed links on Dropbox?
how to remove viewed links on dropbox
Hello everyone, just wanted to provide a quick update on Viewed Links since its been a while since this thread was updated.
In the Dropbox mobile app, the Viewed links section that appears on the Home tab can now be hidden by using the built-in customization options. You cannot delete individual viewed links one by one yet, but you can remove the entire section from the Home view so it does not show up anymore. To do that you:
- Open the Dropbox mobile app.
- Go to the Home tab.
- Scroll down and tap the Customize icon at the bottom.
- In the list of sections, toggle off Viewed links.
- Tap Save to apply.
This hides the section from your Home tab.
What is still not possible
- You cannot individually delete single links from the Viewed links list.
- There is no current feature to clear the history of viewed links while keeping the section.

Megan, many thanks for you anwers. But could I come back to the question we started: How can I disable the history of my "viewed links" in my app. Or how can I clear the history, just like you can delete the history in a browser?
If there is no way to hide or delete this history of "viewed links", Dropbox should urgently implement these functions. The mere advice that I am not allowed to give others my password or access is not helpful in this respect. The wish not to see this history or to clear it has nothing to do with this.
Thank you very much, if you would have a solution.
