Hi Jay and Megan,
I need to echo all of the other users and say that we need the starred link on the sidebar. What UX testing was done before making this change? It is not productive or useful for stared items to not be accessible quickly. It's the opposite of productive.
It now takes 3 times longer to locate our previously "quick-accessed items". I have to click "home" then scroll down past "recent items" to locate my starred items. The items listed in the sidebar now (Signatures Shared File requests Deleted files) are not frequently used items. I don't need to access my deleted files quickly. And the majority of my files are "shared" because this is a business account, so I don't need to know which folders are shared.
I do need to be able to access my starred folders quickly so I can upload or review files to them in seconds not minutes. I spend more time looking for a folder than necessary. Please fix this.
Adding a request to put the STARRED option back in the navigation pane.
It was FAR more useful and easier to find where it was originally. Why the change?!
This is a bad update, it was ideal where it was
I also don't see the "Starred" items in the middle area, and as you know, it is no longer in the left column where it was most effective. How can I see my starred files now?

Hey TheaPerez-SE, did you check your Files page, and the option to see your starred items no longer shows above your files?
What if you also visit your Home page?
PLEASE ADD STARRED BACK
