Hi there @BernieC, thanks for using Dropbox and happy Monday!

 

Can you please let us know your device's exact OS version and the version of the mobile app installed there?

 

If your tablet is using Android OS for example, you should be able to remove any sections you don't want to see in your homepage by tapping on the palette icon on the upper right corner of your screen. 

 

I hope this helps and please keep us posted!

I'm running Android 12 on my tablet and I have Dropbox 336.2.2. and there's no "palette" on my home screen -- just a "bell" that opens notifications. Whbat I have on my home page is "Starred", "Viewed links" "shared" and "offine",. I have the free version -- I'm using just over 50% of the allowed space

Hey @BernieC

 

I'm afraid it's not possible to clear these sections at the moment, nor hide them. 

 

The only section that you can hide is Recents (by going to your app's settings and selecting the "Hide recent items on Home" option). 

 

I've passed your feedback though to our team, so that they can consider changing this in the future.

 

Hope this clarifies things a bit.
