OSX doesn't save screenshots to Dropbox anymore

OSX doesn't save screenshots to Dropbox anymore

Hey, 

I got a brand new MacbookPro and although I activated the Share screenshots via Dropbox option in the Import tab, screenshots are still saved under my Mac's Documents folder. 

Here's my config :

- Dropbox v26.4.24

- OSX 10.12.5 

Btw I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, didn't work either.
But I didn't remove the app settings (I'm not sure where they are located) and if it's relevant in this case. 

Any idea ? 

Thanks,

Vincent

On my imac all was working fine until I upgraded to Mojave. I see that the Screenshot app has hijacked the keyboard shortcut. I went into mac preferences and disabled the screenshot shortcuts but that didn't help. I also tried @ae1m's suggestion but that only makes the shots from the Screenshot app get saved to the desktop. It doesn't automatically add the dropbox link to the clipboard. I prefer the files being saved to the Dropbox screenshot folder over the desktop so that's not a good solution anyway. Has anyone figured this out?
