You're watching VisiHow. In this video, we're going to demonstrate how to turn on or off sending screenshots to Dropbox. When you have installed Dropbox, the default setting is to send all of your screenshots to a location within Dropbox. [[Image:Turn_Off_Screenshot_To_Dropbox.mp4-canvas2_39269.jpg|center]]


== Steps ==
# For instance, take a screenshot of a web page. Instead of saving the screenshot to the desktop, the screenshot will be saved to Dropbox. You will receive a Dropbox link where the screenshot will be located. The link will be automatically copied to the buffer. [[Image:Turn_Off_Screenshot_To_Dropbox.mp4-canvas19_357476.jpg|center]]
# You can paste the link into the browser address bar to open the Dropbox screenshot folder. [[Image:Turn_Off_Screenshot_To_Dropbox.mp4-canvas26_382793.jpg|center]]
# Alternatively, launch Finder. [[Image:Turn_Off_Screenshot_To_Dropbox.mp4-canvas33_350833.jpg|center]]
