How to remove links from viewed links?
HI
Just wish to know if there is any way to clear unwanted/dead viewed links form the viewed links list

Super User IIIf that’s really the case, I’m a bit concerned that something which seems to be a privacy problem is still being treated as a feature request, rather than an issue that needs to be addressed.
I dont think they can view it, BUT, as an Admin they can log in as you if they wished. However, chances of them doing so are, I imagine, slim. I suppose though its no different to whatever you do on a work device: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/view-activity
Its worth noting that actually for a business they probably also want to control and know what you've accessed - I know my whole internet history is stored at work (and everything monitored).
Thanks for your reply Mark, really appreciated ❤️.
I would like to know (if possible) whether or not they can see that list of links.
its worth mention peraphs that there are specific scenarios where "work environment" is remote, i am freelancer who collabs with different clients/environment and if im logged in (browser) with the business account and i accidentally forget that and click on a (private/personal/nsfw/joke ) dropbox link which is outside that business account environment, that link will be permanently stored inside visited-link folder of the account youre logged in.

Hey dropce! Can you clarify what kind of team your business Dropbox account is part of? You can double check this by logging in to it and going to this page.
As Mark mentioned above, it may be possible for your team admin to sign in to your Dropbox team account as a user, but this feature is only available to specific types of Dropbox teams (as mentioned in this Help Center article).
Other than that, I'm afraid that it’s not currently possible to remove those links from the "Viewed links" list. I’ve made sure to pass your feedback though to our team, as I can understand your concern.

Yes it is, but, I believe only if they logged in to the account.

Oh I get it - been there, done that, got the t-shirt (from when we could use Dropbox client on work machines....!
However, I also get the work side of it and think its going to be stuck there.
As a workaround (if it's possible—and I may be clutching at straws here), if the link itself was deleted, then even if they logged on as you and clicked it, it wouldn't work. So, if you can ask whoever shared said link with you to delete it.
