Auto saving screenshots to Dropbox. How to disable it?

I was using my Windows laptop for Dropbox and accidently clicked on save all screenshots to Dropbox. Which is quite annoying as I'm usually screen shotting alot, when using Whatsapp (and i use Whatsapp on computer alot). I just want to UNDO this and NOT save all screenshots to dropbox. It seems to be fine on mobile i think, its not saving screen shots there but it is on Windows laptop. I have latest version of Dropbox, before u start saying get latest version lol. I do, i just cant undo this. So please help me here.

    Hi Ashley McLoone, did you try disabling the feature by unchecking the box in the preferences?
