STOP DROPBOX FROM SAVING SCREENSHOTS 2023

This is driving me crazy. I've followed online instructions but cannot find my dropbox preference where it supposedly gives me the option to turn off screenshots. Can anybody help?

    Hey dpell, thanks for joining our Community.

     

    I assume you're referring to screenshots on your computer and not your phone, right?

     

    If so, you should be able to find the preferences, after clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar.

     

    Click on your initials/profile pic and you'll find the preferences option.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

Thank you Hannah...you solved my problem!

I was trying to find that preference on the Dropbox site directly or via the icon in my Mac dock.
