Disable URL to screenshot when taking a screenshot

They added that new section after my post.

this is annoying me. This did not do this before. I screen shot on mac and want to paste text but have to wait for the dropbox banner to come out and then when I paste its the stupid dropbox link. 

1. dropbox should havea an optioin to not show the banner

2. the link should not be copied to the clipboard , again add an option.  

I"m in the same boat- hey dropbox you need to have a pref to disable this, it shd not automatically be pasted, just lost an hour of my life trying to explain this to your team 

we have 35 drop box account here- do something about it its annoying, if i wanted a link id creat one dont it auto

I am not sure if you have got help or resolved the issues. I still had an issue when i uncheck the preferences, the screenshots got saved in the desktop. Here is what i did that resolved all of the above issue in mac:            

1) Unchecked the dropbox share from preference. This removed the setting and made the default settings back to desktop.

2) However, have ceated a new folder named Screenshot in the dropbox folder.              

3) used mac's default settings to change the default location of the screenshot to that folder. I used the process form this website. you can google how to do that. Change the default of screenshot

Cheers.

You are welcome.

To add on, there are smaller issues that arise from this mainly with the naming      

1) the naming changed form "screenshot date (24hr time)" to  "Screen Shot (Date) at (12hr Time) pm".    

The naming is resolved by changing the naming with similar command to "screenshot". The preference-> language->advanced-> time -> medium format to "0-23" and removing the am/pm solved most of the issue to make it similar naming except fo the "at" that arises. But i guess "at" hasnt hurt anyone yet. 

So, on a mac, here's another answer. You can take a screenshot Cmd+Shift+4, and that ends up in DB screenshots and you get a link when you paste it. OR you can use Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 and just get a jpg that will paste into a text editor or document or email or text message, etc.

Yo 3 years later thank you!!!!

I can't believe Dropbox still hasn't fixed this yet. You're a lifesaver I was just about to literally delete Dropbox cause I couldn't find a way around it lol

I know this is an old thread but I found the answer.

Disable dropbox from auto saving the screengrab and just change the location from within the screengrab.app on OSX.

Cmd+spacebar

screenshot

Enter

Options...

Other Location

Select "Dropbox / Screenshots"

Now they'll save to screenshots within dropbox by OSX, not dropbox so no link is generated and your clipboard isn't over written!
