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.

    Microsoft - please stop adding "features" that reduce efficiency. It's as if your engineers don't actually use products.

    Thanks to this new crapola feature that can't be turned off, I have to scroll through a (very long) list of every sharepoint I have ever had access to at work just to get to "browse".

    Was there a response from Microsoft yet?

    I would prefer if MS let me chose what I want rather then making the decision for me.

    I already had the save as option. The problem I have is using the "Open" screen. I don't want to have to scroll down 3-4 times just to get to the "Browse" option.

    This feature is useless. Why did they think it was a good idea? I'm curious to see the use case but all my users are complaining about this useless feature. It's forcing Sharepoint sites that most people don't work on. At least give us the option to remove it.
