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.

      HI Leigh19, could you try these options to take a screenshot on your machine?

        Thanks, @Jay  I really need to get it back where I just hit the print screen.  I must capture things quickly in real-time.  It was working fine until I did that upgrade to Windows 11. I hope there is a solution.
