New screenshot update
So dropbox randomly updated to new screenshot expirience which is not useful as it was. I've always used drag and drop feature while screenshot appeared on the corner to quickly throw file on desktop or import it to file, but right now it have annoying icons on it and i cant drag the picture into any app or do anything about it, what the point of this update? Is theres a way to revert this?
Did you tested it with real users? I can always do mark up inside macos preview, there no need of "dropbox" feature for this IMO

Hi itsmaku -- I'm on the Product team here at Dropbox. Thank you for the feedback on this new experience. I'll pass this along to the team, so we can consider adding the ability to drag-and-drop from the Dropbox screenshot thumbnail.
If you'd like to hide this new Dropbox thumbnail from appearing, you can disable it in your preferences (you can find this through: Clicking the Dropbox icon in the top Menu Bar > clicking Account/Avatar in the top-right > Preferences > Screenshots > toggle Show quick actions after screenshot).
You can also access these settings by clicking the gear icon in the thumbnail after you take a screenshot.
Let me know if you have any trouble disabling this, or if you have any more feedback.
Cheers,
Ryan

Its because they have ditched Capture (which was an amazing bit of kit) so this is basically a poor mans attempt at having at least some of the functionality within the main app :(
Agreed - its super frustrating to have the drag and drop directly into an app feature removed. I'll probably revert to default mac functionality at this point
itsmakuyou can revert to old behaviour by defaulting dropbox screenshots entirely and then changing the destination of mac screenshots to the dropbox folder. This allows you to drag and drop and for it to still save automatically to dropbox
