Screenshots going to Dropbox-How to change to Photos-Screenshots. How to access Prefererences?

Could not find my screenshots under Pictures-Screenshots. Eventually found them in Dropbox. Checked Hep and Community support and cannot find the solution to have them stay in my files on the computer. Saw someone accessed Preferences, but I have not found out how to do this. Help is appreciated. Also how does one contact Dropbox support? All I see is a learning center and Ask the Community.

    The option to save screenshots to Dropbox can be found on the Backup tab within Preferences in the Dropbox application.

      I found that info. Tried it and when I click in the icon in the taskbar it takes me to: User> Dropbox ( Which shows folders)

      It does NOT take me to ( as the instructions state:) 

      1. My avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner.
      2. Preferences.                                                     If I Rt. click on the Screenshots folder there is no Preferences tab. I also selected run as administrator and repeated the steps, but again no change. I was on the phone with Microsoft yesterday for 1hr & 20 minutes and they couldn't help.

        You're clicking the wrong icon and likely just opening the Dropbox folder in Explorer. You need to single-click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray (near the clock). If you don't see it, you may need to click the up arrow to see the hidden icons.
