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 -- Wanted to follow up and let you know that this should now be  available! It was included in our latest Beta release (which can be downloaded here). When you get a chance, I'd love to hear your feedback!

    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
