How do I remove the Dropbox icon from the Windows 10 file explorer?
Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there is a Dropbox icon in the Windows file explorer navigation pane. I already have a link to Dropbox and other cloud-storage options in the Quick link...
Thanks Irene, I had already tried that and although the Dropbox icon disappears immediately, it reappears after reboot :-(
I even searched through the registry for all occurrences of the partial key "E31EA727" - there are about 4 or so of them altogether, all belonging to Dropbox, and some also containing the "System.IsPinnedToNamespaceTree" entry. I set all of them to zero, but still the wretched Dropbox icon reappears after reboot.
Rick M - I object because the icon doesn't belong there! It merely references an existing folder - it's not a separate drive, not a network location and not a library, it's just a FOLDER. There is no reason to create an icon there which just takes up space, especially in view of the fact that most* of the other cloud drive applications DON'T have an icon in the navigation pane, and thus they can all be grouped neatly under Quick Access by creating shortcuts for them if required.
* Note: In the case of OneDrive, the icon can be permanently removed by a registry edit and it stays removed. Not so with Dropbox, which is a pain.
