Saving screenshots automatically to Dropbox mac
Question:
How can I make it so that when I take a screenshot it automatically saves to a folder in dropbox NOT my mac's desktop.
I just got a new mac laptop and my screenshots are saving to the desktop.
But on my old mac laptop every screenshot was saved to a folder inside of Dropbox, which is what I want to do on my new laptop but I can't figure it out.

Hey username1232, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community!
You can enable the feature of automatically uploading screenshots to your Dropbox folder, by following the steps here.
Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions.
Hi, I followed the steps then restarted my computer and it's still not working. My screenshots are still saving to the desktop.
Maybe there was a setting or something I messed up when first setting up? I'm not sure why it's not working.- Jay
Hi username1232, could you try disabling the screenshot option, reboot your Mac and then re-enable it again to see if this helps?
Just disabled it, restarted. Enabled it then restarted and it still doesn't work.
Thanks for helping but it didn't work. What else can I try?I just uninstalled Dropbox. Restarted and enabled the screenshot option but it still doesn't work.
