How can I change the keyboard shortcut in Dropbox to create a screenshot?
Hello.
Today I had a problem with Dropbox.
On my PC, the key combination Str+PrintScreen has been assigned to create screenshots in the ShareX program for a long time.
But today, an error from ShareX popped up on my PC saying that this key combination is occupied by the Dropbox program.
In the Dropbox settings itself, I did not find the option to change the key combination.
How can I change the key combination in Dropbox for creating a screenshot?
I do not need Dropbox to create screenshots at all. Ideally, I should disable this function.

There isn't an option to change that. I'm pretty sure Dropbox just uses whatever key is registered with the OS as the screenshot function. It just takes it over function; not the key.
I do not need Dropbox to create screenshots at all. Ideally, I should disable this function.Disable Screenshots from the Backups tab in Dropbox Preferences. That might not restore the functionality to another app, but it will prevent Dropbox from capturing screenshots itself.
If ShareX doesn't respond to the screenshot key after that, you may need to reinstall it to have it re-capture the function. Or, if possible within its own settings, unassign and reassign the key so it re-captures it.
