Turn off “Suggested for you” section.

There are TONS of threads specifically requesting these be disabled and yet your latest update you threw them in there as a forced-on feature that cannot be disabled.  Please disable or give us option to turn off the “Suggested for you” section on the mobile apps that updates with more information every refresh. I dont need suggestions for me, I don’t want my projects or files flaunted on the home page every time I open the app around other people. There’s often confidential information that I can’t be having flashed around. Turn off these stupid features nobody is asking for!

  • When opening your mobile app, and going to your Home page, are you able to see a small “palette” icon on the top right corner, right next to a small camera icon? 

     

    If yes, I'd like you to click there and let me know if you can disable the “Suggested for you” option.

    Ah, thank you! Either the eye icon wasn't there before, or I didn't see it. Thanks.

    But it's right back on display next time you log in. Why can't these settings persist? Please?

    We, the people of Earth, tend to associate the image of a color palette with colors. This is not an intuitive button icon.
