Remove Viewed links folder?

How do you delete your viewed links folder? There are no elipse dots and no need to keep the history. Shouldn’t there be a option to keep history or not?

    Thanks for the screenshot and the clarification, Founderatkda.

     

    At the moment there's no way to remove or hide this section from the Home tab of the Dropbox app.

     

    I will however pass your feedback and comments along to our team, we appreciate you taking the time to post about it.

     

    Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey Founderatkda, thanks for posting your question today!

 

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "viewed links folder"?

 

If you can send me a screenshot of what you mean, while making sure you hide any personal info, it would be really helpful.

 

Thanks!

 I had to reinstall the dropbox app, this removed previosly viewed file links, however i do not wish Dropbox to remember viewed files or to have them show up and unable to delete.

Any suggestions team ?

      Is this Viewed Links section device specific or shared across all signed in devices?

        Most likely (though I can't confirm) it's device specific, since the person above says they were able to clear it by removing and reinstalling the Dropbox app on their device.

      Are there any updates on this issue? I find this to be a big flaw with this app.
