Help Needed: Screenshot Shortcut Key Conflict on Windows 11

Hello, Dropbox Community,

 

I’m reaching out to the community today because I’m experiencing an issue that has become quite a puzzle for me, and frankly, it’s starting to drive me a bit up the wall.

 

When I first installed Dropbox on my Windows 11 system, I distinctly remember receiving a notification about a conflict between the Dropbox screenshot shortcut and another shortcut key on my system. Unfortunately, I can’t for the life of me recall what the alternative shortcut was that Dropbox suggested for taking screenshots and automatically saving them to the Dropbox\Screenshots folder.

 

This functionality is something I rely on heavily for my workflow, and its absence has been more than just a minor inconvenience. I’ve scoured the settings and tried the usual suspects (Print Screen, Alt+Print Screen, Windows Key + Print Screen), but none seem to trigger the automatic saving to Dropbox like it used to.

 

I’m sure it’s a simple fix or a memory jog away, but at this point, after much frustration and unsuccessful troubleshooting, I’ve decided to turn to you, the community, for guidance.

 

Does anyone recall what the alternative shortcut might be? Or, has anyone else encountered and resolved a similar issue?

 

Thank you very much in advance for your time and assistance. It’s greatly appreciated and I’m looking forward to getting back to my usual efficient self with your help.

 

Warm regards,

  • Just to provide an update, I've successfully managed to get the screenshot function working again on this specific keyboard and am sharing this update in case anyone else encounters a similar issue in the future. The resolution involved opening the Logitech Options software, selecting the keyboard, and noting that, by default, the key was assigned to 'Screen Snip' - which was somewhat unusual.

     

    I then changed it to 'Screen Capture'. This adjustment now allows me to use ALT + the screen key to create a snapshot in Dropbox.

     

    Thank you for the assistance, nonetheless.
