Installed 214.3.5140 and the behavior when I take a screenshot changed
Hi, I have this update installed. My Dropbox screenshot behavior has recently changed, and I have not changed anything. I save all screenshots with Dropbox. In the past few days, the new behavior...

Hi Walter,
It seems that using the dropbox.com/installs/upgrade-latest-version page got me the latest beta.... :(
I was finally able to download the latest stable client build - 214.4.5217. I was able to find it by googling "Dropbox forum latest stable client build." Is it supposed to be that hard?
After installing 214.4.5217, I see that the issue is fixed. The usual/normal behavior is back: I press Print Screen and the screenshot is saved to my Dropbox Screenshots folder, but I don't get that annoying little preview of the screenshot in the bottom right corner of my Windows desktop. It therefore seems that this was a "feature" in the beta... If it was intentional, then they haven't gotten it quite right yet... It needs a setting for toggling the preview on/off. :)
I did turn off the early access toggle switch.
Please confirm/correct any questions/assumptions in this post and my previous post. :)
Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you managed to sort this out in the end and thanks for keeping me in the loop too taballe
When it comes to your concerns, it's true that I was referring to the button you mentioned and you'd need to toggle it off to be able to install the stable version of the app normally and not the beta versions.
That said, thanks for your report about that specific beta build and let us know if anything else comes up!
