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 this for saving. The problem I have is the sites show up when I'm trying to open a workbook instead of showing the actual quick access folders that I have in explorer that I need to navigate to frequently.

    AND MICROSOFT STILL WONT FIX THIS ISSUE?? ENOUGH HAS BEEN SAID MICROSOFT! THIS IS NO LONGER 'QUICK' ACCESS, AT LEAST REPLACE THE WORD 'QUICK' WITH 'SLOW' WHICH BETTER REPRESENTS THIS FEATURE.

    SLOW ACCESS!

    I agree, this option is worthless and needs to either go away or have the ability to disable.
