Disable "Suggested from your activity" permanently

Disable "Suggested from your activity" permanently

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.

I got on the forum precisely to post about this. This feature is not helpful or needed at all. More than that, it is an unwanted privacy breach for me because I don't want my family photos to pop up when I'm sharing my screen or someone walks past my desk. I store my photos here because it's supposed to be a place where my files are safe, so I don't understand why I can't turn this feature off.
