Dropbox capture forces purple circles on click

An update about 3 months ago forced all Dropbox capture clicks to show a purple circle around it. This is not able to be turned off. This ruins Dropbox capture for me.

Typpi thank you for the feedback! Curious, why would you like to turn this feature off?

Apologies for the delayed response, I only just noticed your message.

I utilize Dropbox Capture to record content for my clients. However, the purple overlay, which I find unnecessary, is obstructing some of the content. It would be beneficial to have the option to disable it. Since this feature was introduced with an update last year, I’ve been forced to switch to a different product instead of Dropbox Capture. If you review my capture history, you’ll notice that I ceased using it entirely after this update.
