Add an option to prevent a thumbnail popup when taking a screenshot

When you use Dropbox desktop app on Windows and enable the option;

"Save screenshots to Dropbox"

a thumbnail of a screenshot appears at the corner of the screen when a screenshot is taken.

This popup needs to be manually closed if you want to take another screenshot.

There should be an option in the Preferences to prevent the popup.

    Hey, tmp20250109 -- Thanks for the feedback! I'm on the Product Management team here at Dropbox, and I wanted to let you know that we're actively working on this improvement!

    The thumbnail you're seeing is part of a recent change, which we're Beta testing. We're in the process of updating it, so that it's easy to enable/disable it post-screenshot. Stay tuned for that!

    In the meantime, if you have any other feedback about the Screenshot backup experience, we'd love to hear it.

    Cheers,

    Ryan

    Hey tmp20250109! I just wanted to let you know that this improvement is now delivered.

    The feature it's a part of is still being ramped, so not all users will experience it; when they do though, this improvement will be a part of it.
