Can I change the Android app 'Home' to 'Files'?

Application Affected
Dropbox for Android
Device
Pixel 8a
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)
456.2.2

Question is in the title. The info I can find refers to the customization palette icon -- no such thing.

At the top: "Home" - Bell notification icon - Upload icon [which, incidentally, looks like a share icon].
At the bottom: Home & icon  - Files & icon - Photos & icon - Account & icon

Any help, or is it impossible? TIA.

    Hi SC A., thanks for messaging the Community.

    Currently, it isn't possible to change the default of the Dropbox mobile app to direct you to Files instead of Home.

    We appreciate the feedback on this matter and we take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox site and services!
