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.

    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.

    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.

    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".

    This new "Quick" Access pane is the ultimate misnomer and the epitome of inefficiency!! 😡

    Hi Nate, this changes the top Quick Access icons, not the long list that shows up on the "Open" option. That brings up a ton of SharePoint sites that I never save documents to. I want that **** gone!
