In Excel, how do I remove the Quick Access pane in the File Save interface?

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.

    It would be fantastic if Microsoft updated that link with how to disable this feature.

    Whether it's based on an Insights feature that needs to be disabled on a SharePoint Profile level by the SharePoint administrators or based on whatever recent Office 365 Update that was applied to enable this that is reducing users efficiency far too much.

    Please fix!

    Hello Microsoft,

    Please remove this forced feature that is now lowering users' efficiency that require the use of the Save As feature.

    None of the Quick Access sites match what is saved in Windows Explorer and are simply based on SharePoint sites users have browsed to, without even subscribing to or adding to SharePoint Favorites.

    No. it didn't fix issue. I'm still seeing "Quick access" despite deselecting "Show Additional places for saving..."
