How do I disable or remove capture?
How do I disable or remove capture? The screenshot URLs do not work for some reason. I just want to go back to the old dropbox screenshot URLs. I've uninstalled dropbox capture and unchecked/rechecke...
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to follow up on my message above.
- The 404 error should never happen again. We've deployed the fix. Thank you so much for your help in finding the root cause of this issue
- dl=1 and raw=1 now work exactly as you requested
Please let us know if there is anything else you'd like us to add to the Capture links to make them even better.
Thank you so much!

Dropbox StaffHey Jessica D.20, let's see what we can find on this together!
Does the 404 error show up on all of the links or just some of them?
Since you uninstalled Dropbox Capture, can you try re-creating a shared link from scratch and let me know how this goes?
Please keep me updated!
Keep me posted!

Hi Megan,
It happens on ALL of my screenshots. I either get a 404, or sometimes I get a notification that it is uploading but it never does (days later, still nothing there). This is not just for me but also for those who I'm trying to share the screenshot URL with.
Here is a new screenshot:
- This is the link that get's copied to my clipboard when I took the screenshot (I cannot access this, neither can others, and it does not unfurl in slack etc): https://capture.dropbox.com/kTWOzAfvUe9bUXDc?src=ss
- This is the same screenshot, URL created on dropbox (went to finder, fond my screenshot, went to view on dropbox, and generated a shareable URL from there - but obv I don't want to have to go through this every time, totally defeats the whole dropbox screenshot feature) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/wstz026l7oxr2ur/Screen%20Shot%202022-02-01%20at%203.57.38%20PM.png?dl=0
But either way, I just want to get back to the way it was, I do NOT want to use capture at all, how do I remove it? How do I remove capture all together so that my screenshot URLs are like the second example above (dropbox.com vs capture.dropbox.com)?
Also Megan, I just want to be very clear, I do not have any desire to use Capture, I want it gone, removed (I've uninstalled it etc, so I shouldn't be having this issue at all). Capture has been nothing but problematic.
It appears that other responses on here to those with the same issue I'm having, are bypassing that and offering getting Capture to work. So I want to specify and make sure it's really clear - thats not my question and not what I'm after at all, I don't have any interest in getting capture to work at this point. I'm asking How do I disable or remove capture?
I simply just want my URLs back to plain ole dropbox.com, NOT capture.dropbox.com. How do I achieve this?
But what I don't want to do is waste anymore time on capture, if there isn't a way to just revert back like I'm asking, then Dropbox is moot for me as this is the main reason I use it. And if thats the case, I'll just remove Dropbox and go back to using Google Drive (at least those URLs unfurl in slack).
