    For those Using A Mac, here are the screenshots to help you find the Preferences tab you'll need to turn off Screenshots Automatically Loading Into Dropbox:

    I indeed want screenshots saved to Dropbox.  I have the checkmark in "Share screenshots using Dropbox."  This used to work fine, but now it does not. Microsoft keeps asking if I want to save screenshots to their Cloud. I've said no thanks.  But how do I get screenshots again saved to Dropbox?

    Please show me how to get to the "Dropbox Preferences".  I can't locate it within the app.  Thank you.
