I've used prtsc to capture my screenshots for like years now but for some reason dropbox doesn't recognize it anymore. The settings in dropbox are correct and its not a hardware problem b/c I can still press prtsc and then ctrl+v into paint.
try ctrl+prt scr or alt+prtscr. it works for me.
Yes, this worked for me.
In Dropbox, disable "Save screenshots to Dropbox".
In OneDrive, disable "Save screenshots to OneDrive".
In Dropbox, enable "Save screenshots to Dropbox".
Microsoft is apparently still unfriendly towards its users, and from the looks of it - how difficult it is to uninstall Microsoft Edge, Cortana and OneDrive aggressively taking over Dropbox without telling users how to re-enable Dropbox - it has got WORSE.
The first time you do this, the application will ask if you want to save screenshots to your Dropbox. Click Save Screenshots to Dropbox.
Dropbox Business users: If you've connected your personal and work Dropboxes, you can also choose which Dropbox you want to save screenshots to. You can later change this setting on the Account tab in the desktop application preferences.
You can always turn this feature on or off in the application's preferences:

earlier whenever i used to press the "print screen" ikon, my screenshots used to automatically get saved in my screenshots folder in my dropbox. After having reinstalled windows, the same is not happening.
i have installed the dropbox app on my laptop.
when i go into the app preferences --- backup, i do not see any checkbox to select to save screenshots to dropbox, as mentioned in the help literature.
is something amiss at my end.
please help.
thanks....
