Dropbox Capture directs to desktop after taking screenshot on MacBook

I am using MacBook Pro, 13 inch M1,2020 with Sonoma 14.4.1.
When I take a screenshot by using Dropbox Capture, the current window is automatically changing to the desktop due to the opened notification I added the image of.

    Hey hanci, thanks for your post.

     

    Did this behavior just start for you or has it always been like this?

     

    Does the notification appear to minimize any window/app that is open the moment you take the screenshot?

     

    Let me know!

        Hi hanci,

         

        Are you still having this issue? Capture on macos should show a preview of your screenshot in the bottom right corner, but not switch to the Desktop. Let me know and we can go from there!

         

        Thanks,

        Ben
