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?

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.

      They are also not completing if you try and do them again
