Turn off “Suggested for you” section.

[sam011989]

There are TONS of threads specifically requesting these be disabled and yet your latest update you threw them in there as a forced-on feature that cannot be disabled.  Please disable or give us option to turn off the “Suggested for you” section on the mobile apps that updates with more information every refresh. I dont need suggestions for me, I don’t want my projects or files flaunted on the home page every time I open the app around other people. There’s often confidential information that I can’t be having flashed around. Turn off these stupid features nobody is asking for!

Welcome back to the forum, @sam011989. 

What’s the current OS version that you’re running on your mobile device? 

I’d like to send your feedback to the relevant team with as many details as possible, so that they can take this into consideration. 

Let me know!

iOS 16.5. This is all part of the latest Dropbox UI update. They thought we'd love to see suggestions of our own content. Maybe for some people, but not everyone which is why I should be able to disable this.

When opening your mobile app, and going to your Home page, are you able to see a small “palette” icon on the top right corner, right next to a small camera icon? 

If yes, I'd like you to click there and let me know if you can disable the “Suggested for you” option.

[sam011989]

Well now I stand corrected!

Yes, I see the palette icon and I was able to unselect the "suggested" section. I never in a million years would have guessed that icon would have been used for filtering the Home Screen, but now I know. Thank you very much for that!

[Nancy]

It was my pleasure!

If you need something else, I’ll be around the Community.

Nancy,

I am using a business account that I am Owner / Admin of. I would like to have the ability to, and my employees to have the ability to, turn off the recommended feature on our laptops (Windows).

Thank you!

Nancy, I see that this is available in the mobile app.

However, how do I remove the "Suggested from your activity" area on Desktop? (Windows, Firefox, latest versions)
