Hi GregorBeyerle -- Thanks for flagging this feedback! I'm on the Product team at Dropbox, and I'd love to help here.

If you'd like to disable the Dropbox pop-up, you can do that via Preferences:

  • Hover over the pop-up and click the gear icon
  • In the "Screenshots" tab of preferences, you can toggle the "Show quick actions after screenshot" option off

That should prevent the pop-up from appearing! 

If you're not seeing the original MacOS pop-up after that, you can use CMD + SHIFT + 5 to open your MacOS options. When you click "options," you should have the ability to enable "Show floating thumbnail."

Let me know if this works and/or if you have other questions!

Cheers,

Ryan

    Turn "Save screenshots to Dropbox" option off. You'll see the bug.
