Hiding Cloud Sync Context Menu Items

Is there a way to hide the "Always keep on this device" and "Free Up Space" context menu items?

I tried literally blocking all extensions in the Shell Extensions settings but it still shows. I can see them being added with the context menu debug log:

[27316] [40788] dopus: Add CME button "Always keep on this device" with ID 1021 = 0x3fd 
[27316] [40788] dopus: Add CME button "Free up space" with ID 1022 = 0x3fe

They seem to even show up if "Hide windows & third party items on file context menus" is enabled.

They only appear within synced folders like OneDrive or more recently DropBox which started using native Windows syncing apparently.

At the moment those are always added for items under Cloud Storage folders.

We could add an option somewhere to hide them. I guess you might want to do that if you've made toolbar buttons that do the same things.

Ah ok, yea I have dropbox set to download all files so I've never had a need to change that on the fly - there's usually a setting in the app itself to choose which files to sync if i really wanted too also.

The next beta will let you remove those menu items.
