Screenshot pop up remove

Hello i have a question about the screenshot pop up that appears when you take a screenshot.

In the previous version of the desktop app when i taked a screenshot i get a smal bubble with a messege that i have added a screenshot to my dropbox, but it didn`t bother me. Now i get the same messege but notised that now it`s in a big black rectangle and it annoys me when i take a shot of somthing. So my question is how to remove it from showing, don`t see options about it.

    Then there's no option to disable it. As I mentioned, it's your OS that is displaying it. Dropbox just sends a message to your OS. Your OS displays it. Look to your OS to control notifications.

    Does it look like this:

     

     

    If so, that's your OS that's doing it. Dropbox doesn't control what the popup looks like. It just sends a notification to your OS, and your OS handles the rest.

    Disable notifications completely in Dropbox Preferences. Otherwise, look to your OS for options because that screen is from your OS, not Dropbox.

    Preferences in the Dropbox application on your computer. Your phone doesn't have anything to do with it.
