Get started with Dropbox suddenly appearing in iOS app

I've been using Dropbox for years now and suddenly out of nowhere I get "Get started with Dropbox" in the iOS app. It's annoying. How do I remove it? Is this a bug?

Hey there meesha7 - sorry  to hear about this.

 

Could you clarify your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there as well?

 

Have you tried clearing the app's cache since you first noticed this? 

 

If you did and this persists, I'd appreciate a screenshot too.

 

Thanks!

    I tried clearing cache but that didn't help. IIRC this started happening after some recent update. The app version is: 364.2.4, iOS version: 17.3.1. Here's the screenshot:

      Have you tried completing the steps once to see if that makes it go away meesha7?

        No, I won't do that, I just want to dismiss this, I already did some of these steps like 5 years ago when I first signed up for Dropbox.
