I can't paste the screenshots I capture on Windows

Hi, psychomaniac189 -- Thanks for flagging this! I'm on the Product Management team here at Dropbox, and I'd love to better understand the issue you're having. 

If I'm following correctly, it sounds like you've set your Screenshot settings (in Preferences) to "Copy Link," but when you take a screenshot, you're not able to paste the link.

I notice you said "press ctrl+v to copy." When that pop-up appears, it should copy the link automatically -- and you should be able to use CRTL + V to paste it (vs. copy it).

If you take a screenshot and then immediately use CRTL + V to try and paste it somewhere, does that work for you? Or does it still not paste anything?

Cheers,

Ryan

NO

it does absolutely NOTHING

Hey psychomaniac189, it might sound unimportant, but have you restarted your device since this started happening?

You're better off setting the default action to copy the image, like normal PrintScreen does, so you can immediately paste. It also looks like you're rushing and not ensuring you have focus in something you can paste in, like Paint.Net which I just tested for you. Open that or fbMessenger or Skype or MSPaint or anything that can paste an image, make sure it's focussed, the Ctrl+V. -- The real problem here is that they've recently added that intrusive popup and now it's impossible to take quick successive screenshots, because taking an immediate second one snaps the small popup. This mistake should be removed, since it cannot be removed in Notification settings.

You are disgusting for adding the intrusive popup which only has one way of being removed, and that's if I don't save screenshots to Dropbox. You have a lot to answer for, and there needs to be a way to stop it. I want to take screenshots without interruption! INSTEAD, I must close your stupid popup. Dropbox screenshots have been great up until now. FIX IT.

Hi, L_ -- Thanks for the feedback.

I completely agree: not being able to explicitly disable this pop-up is frustrating. 

Our team is actively working on a fix for this, so that you can easily disable it with a dedicated setting -- stay tuned for that.

I'd also like to note that, currently, this pop-up is only in our "beta" version of the app. You'll know you're on beta if the middle number of your app version is "3" (e.g., 216.3.4255). 

If you'd like to switch to the "stable" version of the Dropbox app (with less experimental features), you can download it here.

Either way, your feedback is totally heard, and we're working to fix it. 

Cheers,

Ryan

psychomaniac189 - Thanks for sharing this video -- super helpful.

I'm passing this issue over to our team, so they can dig into it.

Can you confirm: when you're attempting to paste the link, where are you pasting it? Are you selecting a text field/box? 

Cheers,

Ryan
