Re: Dropbox related icons on my local files, and cluttered web interface feedback.

I have uninstalled dropbox from my computers and now use rclone to access my files. I hate the UI. I do not want "suggested for you". I do not want dropbox's insistence on putting its icon first on my file tree and making it impossible to remove. All I want is an online file store with a very simple interface. Dropbox is an arrogant and entitled company with clear incompetent programmers. As soon as I can get my files transferred out of here I am going to a different service.
