Hello

"Share screenshots using Dropbox" is not checked.

Yet, any screenshot is being backed up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Enable it, apply your preferences, then disable it again.

It doesn't work.

Furthermore, it backups everything... If I edit something in Snapseed, or any other editing application in my Google Pixel, it will back it up as well.

Any idea?

Thanks

This is on a mobile device? The Share screenshots using Dropbox feature is an option within the desktop applications; not the mobile apps.

 

If this is a mobile device and you're referring to the Camera Uploads feature, it will upload any photo or video saved to your phone's gallery, whether it's a photo, screenshot or an imaged saved from another app.

 

Go into Dropbox Settings on the device and there may be an option to exclude certain folders (there is on iOS, I'm not sure on Android). Otherwise, Camera Uploads will uploading everything in your camera roll/gallery.

Ok, I understand.
That's weird, to say the least.
No option to select what will be backed up... basic that I'd expect from Dropbox.
Thanks again.
