Dropbox Mac has hijacked my Screenshots
I have Dropbox on my Mac OS Sonoma.
As soon as it was installed, my Screenshots disappeared from my Mac Desktop and appeared in Dropbox.
How can I stop this?
I do NOT want my screenshots in Dropbox.
They need to be on my Mac desktop.
Thanks for any help--as a last resort I will just get rid of Dropbox from my Mac if there is no remedy for this.

Hey dukiebluedoc - sorry to hear about this.
Have you tried disabling the feature through the app's preferences?
Let me know and we'll take it from there, Caroline.
I am having the same issue, but I cannot find where "preferences" nor where it allows me to turn off how my screen shots are managed. I do NOT want to have DropboxCapture automatically take my screenshots and post them wherever they go (cannot find that either.) This setting is not easy to find. Please help. I have a lot in Dropbox but this is a nuisance I am I having to consider if I am going to delete my account because of it.

Hey Slimink - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Do you see the Dropbox icon in your menu bar at the moment?
If so, clicking on it should bring up the app's preferences from where you'd be able to navigate to the Backups tab to disable the option to have your screenshots saved in Dropbox.
Couldn't find any apps preferences that would apply.
I have completely deleted DropBox from my Mac, and my screenshots are now back on my Mac Desktop.
If you have any ideas how I could prevent this from happening again, I am willing to reinstall Dropbox.
