Please revert the new screenshot "feature" on MacOS, or at least give us the option to do so.
Hi, can you PLEASE revert that new Screenshot "feature" you added in MacOS. Previously, it was possible to simply drag and drop a Screenshot into Finder or Photos right after it was taken. Now, your stupid popup shows up and drag and drop doesn't work. This worked PERFECTLY in the past and there was NO reason to touch this functionality. Why are you taking this feature away from us???

Hey GregorBeyerle thanks for posting here!
Would you mind clarifying your exact OS and Dropbox version that you're using on your Mac?
You can find the version by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi.
You also mentioned a pop-up that shows up. Would you be able to send me a screenshot, in order for me to have a visual?
Is the option to save screenshots and screen recordings to Dropbox enabled?Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Hi GregorBeyerle -- Thanks for flagging this feedback! I'm on the Product team at Dropbox, and I'd love to help here.
If you'd like to disable the Dropbox pop-up, you can do that via Preferences:
- Hover over the pop-up and click the gear icon
- In the "Screenshots" tab of preferences, you can toggle the "Show quick actions after screenshot" option off
That should prevent the pop-up from appearing!
If you're not seeing the original MacOS pop-up after that, you can use CMD + SHIFT + 5 to open your MacOS options. When you click "options," you should have the ability to enable "Show floating thumbnail."
Let me know if this works and/or if you have other questions!
Cheers,
Ryan
