Screenshots aren't saved automatically to Dropbox after upgrading to Win11

I just upgraded to Windows 11. When I hit Print screen, it no longer goes to my Screenshots folder in Dropbox. A box comes up that shows 3 options. How can I get back to where it captures thethe image immediately and it goes to my screenshot folder in Dropbox?

    Hey Leigh19 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

     

    Have you tried turning the option to save your screenshots off and back on again through the app's preferences to see if that helps improve matters at all? 

     

    If you find the chance, please give it a go and let me know how it goes!

      Thank you Walter.  Yes, I did.  I also turned off the Windows 11 function that caused the snipping tool to come up.  Captures are still not going directly into my folder as they were on 3/30/24 and prior, before I updated to Windows 11.
