Paste a Screenshot using the website.

For windows users, or anyone else that uses the clipboard in  the OS to maintain text, images, or other items for easy copy+ pasting between applications - I would like to see the DropBox web interface accept a "paste" ( Ctrl + V ).  This allows for fast screenshotting in Windows 11 ( Win + Shift +S ) that puts the cropped image in the clipboard for pasting.

 

This expands the use of Dropbox to sync screenshots across Operating systems, and becomes very useful for workflows like QA of web applications, documentation selection, etc, etc.  A number of these examples exist already in web-based "screenshot" websites which host the images for a short period of time before disappearing.  Combine the Dropbox experience with the ease of pasting experience to get a sharable, trackable, linkable screenshot.
