Screenshot links no longer working since installing Mojave
Hi,
Since installing MacOS Mojave, the automatic Dropbox copying of a screenshot link into the clipboard has stopped working. (Mojave has it's own new screenshot functionality which seems to be interferring with this feature on Dropbox.)
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hmmmm, so now I do get the screenshot URL copied to my clipboard, but I also get an error message that pops up every single time, which I'm not sure is any less annoying :/
This is the error message:
Your screen shot can’t be saved.
Cannot write file to intended destination.
Then I have to hit OK, and THEN I can use the screenshot URL.
This did the trick for me. Thanks!

If you have the MacOS screenshot app save the files to desktop, the copying to the specified Dropbox folder works and links are autogenerated. Links seem to be only autogenerated if the file is saved to the desktop and includes "Screen Shot" in the name. "Screen Recording" files do not trigger the behavior.
I've asked Dropbox support on Twitter to look into that.I'm having the same issue. The screenshots save to Dropbox but it does not add a link to the file to my clipboard. I'm using the latest version of both Dropbox and Mojave.

Saving to desktop actually worked! I must have manually chosen the Dropbox folder to save screenshots. Thanks!
But it still only works for static images, not the screen recordings - due to their different file name prefix.
