    It seems to have fixed itself now. Thank you for your help

Hey FDPRM, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

After installing the Dropbox app on this new computer, did you enable the Camera Uploads feature?

Or did you perhaps enable the backup feature instead?

Also, what is your computer's OS version and the sync status and version of the Dropbox app?

You can see the latter by hovering over your Dropbox icon.

Let me know and we'll go from there.

The Camera Uploads part is working. It's the Screenshots on my laptop being saved to my Desktop folder instead of the Screenshots folder that is my problem
