Hide "Get Started" tutorial

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.

Another shout to say that this is appearing, and, I completed these back in about 2008!

 

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

Please add a way to hide the "Get Started" tutorial in the mobile app. A simple "X" button in the upper right corner should work. Thanks.

Still getting this, been a user for few months now, I don't want to install desktop app, I did download it to see if it would update, still there.  How to remove?  Website, using Chrome, on PC.

Need more support?
