    Thanks for the screenshot g v.!

     

    If you don't want to see these icons, you can delete them from the Dropbox folder. This won't affect the features themselves if you have them enabled or not already.

     

    Hope this helps!

thanks for replying, it looks like this. I'd prefer to have only my four folders inside ~/Dropbox.

        Hey Daphne,

         

        What happens when you delete it? I deleted it from my dropbox home thinking it would just get right if the icon or the recommendation/ad/feature. I accidentally got rid of those and my files got all corrupted and I lost a very important folder. Is there any way to get it back?

         

        Thank you,

        M
