Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Hey bradlymathews, sorry to jump in, but could you locate the Dropbox Capture icon in your taskbar and from there click on the ellipsis button on the upper right corner to access the app's preferences?
Could you try adjusting them to see if that helps improve matters?
