How do I remove the Dropbox icon from the Windows 10 file explorer?

Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there is a Dropbox icon in the Windows file explorer navigation pane.  I already have a link to Dropbox and other cloud-storage options in the Quick link...

Dropbox should write their code so that there is an easy way of getting rid of their icon in the navigation pane if the user wants to do that.

Your last post is just plain ridiculous. Whether Microsoft loves Dropbox or not they shouldn't allow Dropbox to force their icon upon us like this.

This is not a problem for most people. In my case, I like this feature. Maybe this will be customizable in the future.

But Dropbox is of course ultimately responsibly for this and should of course immediately give us users an option to get rid of the navigation pane-icon.

 

Again. For now, it's not possible.
