I can't paste the screenshots I capture on Windows
For some reason I cannot pate the screenshots after I press "Print Screen". I have dropbox on my pc set to copy link when image is ready and then there is a pop up on the bottom right when I take a p...

Dropbox Product ManagerHi, psychomaniac189 -- Thanks for flagging this! I'm on the Product Management team here at Dropbox, and I'd love to better understand the issue you're having.
If I'm following correctly, it sounds like you've set your Screenshot settings (in Preferences) to "Copy Link," but when you take a screenshot, you're not able to paste the link.
I notice you said "press ctrl+v to copy." When that pop-up appears, it should copy the link automatically -- and you should be able to use CRTL + V to paste it (vs. copy it).
If you take a screenshot and then immediately use CRTL + V to try and paste it somewhere, does that work for you? Or does it still not paste anything?
Cheers,
Ryan
You are disgusting for adding the intrusive popup which only has one way of being removed, and that's if I don't save screenshots to Dropbox. You have a lot to answer for, and there needs to be a way to stop it. I want to take screenshots without interruption! INSTEAD, I must close your stupid popup. Dropbox screenshots have been great up until now. FIX IT.

Hi, L_ -- Thanks for the feedback.
I completely agree: not being able to explicitly disable this pop-up is frustrating.
Our team is actively working on a fix for this, so that you can easily disable it with a dedicated setting -- stay tuned for that.
I'd also like to note that, currently, this pop-up is only in our "beta" version of the app. You'll know you're on beta if the middle number of your app version is "3" (e.g., 216.3.4255).
If you'd like to switch to the "stable" version of the Dropbox app (with less experimental features), you can download it here.
Either way, your feedback is totally heard, and we're working to fix it.
Cheers,
Ryan
Cool. I just downloaded it, installed it 3 times, and I still have version 216.3.4299, even after restarting my computer just now.
- Stable Build 215.4.7202
- Windows(Windows 10 or later) Standard Installer
Would love you input about this.
So I just now tried the offline Installer:
- Dropbox 215.4.7202 Offline Installer.x64
This worked. The other one must be "online" and it's useless.
With 215.4.7202, I no longer get that screenshot popup.
-- Thank you.Ah, **bleep**swizzle. The popup returned. Ah **bleep**cake. How the hell did Dropbox revert back to 216.3.4299?
--> Would LOVE your thoughts on this!In the system tray, Dropbox was staying there when it installed and reverted, but since I deleted the Standard Installer file which didn't even work, now when Dropbox reverted, it removed the icon from the system tray. What the hell is going on, after so many years of a product that had no issue, suddenly all of this!!! -- Looks like I'm stuck with 216.3.4299, which this time, I actually uninstalled in Settings, then installed the new version, which sucked because the installer doesn't want to use the current folder named "Dropbox" which is another thing you should fix!!! -- What a major cockup!!!
I can't check Dropbox in the system tray, so I checked Settings, and there it is, again, 216.3.4299. A number I can't unmemorize. 🤬🖕
