Disable screenshot tool, windows
In windows, now, a preview of a screenshot pops up in the right hand corner. I do not want this. In invites me to paste, edit, or delete the screenshot. The only thing I want is for the screenshot to save to my drive. I want the ability to paste the screenshot minutes later, like normal.
Now, with this dropbox tool, if I take a screenshot, then open a program, the screenshot isn't there anymore. Previously I could open the program and paste.

This is the new popup.

Here are the settings. Nothing has to do with disableing that tool.- Mark

That first screenshot makes it look like you've installed Dropbox Capture. Maybe try and see if that is running or you can uninstall :)
I haven't installed that.
There aren't any programs running under that name.
Confirmed a dropbox 'feature' but I can't find any info on the web about disabling it.
214.3.5170 is my version, on Windows.
It MIGHT be a beta feature. I can't tell, but I've opted out and I'll see if that fixes it next restart.

If thats the case you will need to install a none beta version locally or you will stay on the 214.3.x branch until it goes stable.
It MIGHT be a beta feature. I can't tell, but I've opted out and I'll see if that fixes it next restart.
Its also worth adding comments on to the Beta thread to say you dont like it / want opt outs etc.

I'm on the latest beta, and a Windows user, and I don't have that popup when saving a screenshot.
