Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
Hi there,
I absolutely hate the feature "Suggested from your activity". I would like to see a checkbox in settings that allows a user to disable that permanently and have the cleanest possible view of file(lists) and folders.
The "Suggested from your activity" feature always shows my family photos or, like today, a preview of my tax form. Whenever I open dropbox in the office to browse my files, all my work colleges can see these previews too. The icon that hides it, is only remembering the setting as long as one does not delete cookies from the browser. At our company, it is policy to delete cookies every day at the end of the day. So this "hiding" setting is pretty useless for me.
More over, please make it possible to have a clean, minimalistic UI without all the fluff, super big blue buttons and "easy access" helpers. Some people don't need it. It is distracting and disturbing.

Please get rid of this asinine "Suggested from your activity". SUCKS!!! Totally invasive and allows co workers to see what I am doing. I was literally writing a performance review for an employee when that person went on my computer saw their name and clicked on the goddamn Suggest from your activity files displayed. The employee threatened legal action and wants to quit now. Thanks Dumbox!!! WTF. Make it an optional feature for God's sake!

Hi all, I just wanted to mention that the relevant Help Center article is working normally now.

Hi --amanda--,
I'm happy to let you and everyone else know this idea has been delivered.
You can disable "Suggested for you" in your settings under Plan>Preferences (see screenshot below).
Please let us know if you need anything else!
oh, lol, 404 not found
I don't know who it was for, but it didn't reach us
Great news! This is finally possible in account settings:
Congrats to the team!
Thanks,
Andrew (DBoxTips)That is strange.... I wish I could upload a screenshot here to show the option. I don't have enabled "early access". So I thought this feature has been rolled out to all of us.
I posted a screenshot here:

Can someone from the Dropbox team tell if this is now only in a test phase for a small group of people?
I don't see it either, and I have "Early Access" enabled.
i don't see it (yet)
