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

tmp20250109

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 -- 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! 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.
