You can attach a screenshot to your reply through the camera icon (insert photo option) within your reply's box floater1

    Hi Walter. I have taken a screen shot, which is in my photos. I right clicked on this photo, selected copy , then hovered over the Dropbox reply box and selected paste, but nothing happens. The photo image does not paste. Is that the correct method
