Screenshots directing to Mail.

MacBook Pro 2018, Sequoia 15.2. Screenshots suddenly not saving to Dropbox. always redirect and open in Mail. I then have to open the screenshot attachment in Preview so I can save. I followed some internet instructions to go into Terminal, but nothing changed.

Make changes to your Screen shot> Options... Save to


Shift Command 5




Get into your Dropbox setting if you still have an issue, and want to stop it usurping the screen shots
