I can't paste the screenshots I capture on Windows
For some reason I cannot pate the screenshots after I press "Print Screen". I have dropbox on my pc set to copy link when image is ready and then there is a pop up on the bottom right when I take a picture and it says "press ctrl+v to copy" BUT IT DOESN'T work at all!

Ah, **bleep**swizzle. The popup returned. Ah **bleep**cake. How the hell did Dropbox revert back to 216.3.4299?
--> Would LOVE your thoughts on this! - L_12 months agoNew member | Level 1
Cool. I just downloaded it, installed it 3 times, and I still have version 216.3.4299, even after restarting my computer just now.
- Stable Build 215.4.7202
- Windows(Windows 10 or later) Standard Installer
Would love you input about this.
So I just now tried the offline Installer:
- Dropbox 215.4.7202 Offline Installer.x64
This worked. The other one must be "online" and it's useless.
With 215.4.7202, I no longer get that screenshot popup.

Thanks for clarifying that for us psychomaniac189 - much appreciated.
Could you please try the latest, stable version of the desktop app from this page directly?
Just make sure to toggle off the early releases from your account's settings first.
Let us know of any updates!

Also, I want to note that, currently, this pop-up experience 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.

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

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
