The quick access pane is providing links that I do not have write access to and never save to, and I need the 'Browse' folder option at the bottom, which I now have to use the scroll bar in order to select. This is adding extra steps and reducing efficiency, so I would like to remove the Quick Access pane.

This made me laugh, thank you!
I see everyone's folders also because I am a global administrator on our Sharepoint system. And you are correct, I cannot add my own folders to the "Quick Access" list. Very frustrating.
The work around of putting the "Save As" on the quick launch bar works for saving but I still have the issue when trying to open files, I still have to scroll down past a bunch of quick access/shared files before I can get to browse. @Microsoft - this is B.S. give us a way to turn this off or on.
We face Similar issue when click on Open a file a long list of Quick access appears. How to remove that??
Great workaround! Thanks - this has helped my frustration with the silly Quick Access that I can't get rid of either!
A workaround is to get the old-school Save dialog box by adding the "Save as" button to the quick launch bar at the top-left (near the normal "Save" command). Click on the down-arrow near the top-left, click "More Commands", and add "Save As" as shown in the image here. Thanks to my departmental informatics director for pointing this out!
