Saving screenshots to Dropbox: Option to not copy to clipboard

I love the option to save screenshots into Dropbox. Unfortunately if you enable it, you have to choose between: 

  • copy link
  • copy image

within the "When screenshot is ready" dropdown.

On too many occasions this has overwritten something I had only recently copied to the clipboard. When I go to paste it, I instead find that it's been replaced by the link to the image, or the image itself. 

I still want to save my screenshots into Dropbox, but I'd love a 3rd option within "When screenshot is ready" dropdown:

  • Don't copy anything to clipboard
     

I'd imagine this is very simple to implement, so thought I'd ask :)

    Hi Neil W.6 -- Thanks for sharing this feedback!

    We're evaluating a number of enhancements to our screenshot backup feature, and I've shared this with the team for consideration. We'll keep you posted on any plans to implement this -- stay tuned!

    In the meantime, we'll keep an eye on this "idea" post -- to see what other folks from the community think! 

    Cheers,

    Ryan
