How to share DropBox screenshots with your PC?

We usually share more screenshots from the mobile phone than from the computer. This is because, with the last option, you must first make the capture, then save it and send it from the mail to your contacts. But calm down, there is an easier way to do it. In this post, we’ll show you the steps you need to follow to share captures using Dropbox.

In previous years, the best way to share a screenshot was through a program called Screencast. This application was in the past with the arrival of Dropbox, which currently has the best interface for sharing acquisitions.

Currently, Dropbox has become one of the most popular programs in the world in terms of data storage in the cloud. You can have the desktop version or the version for your smartphone; that is, you can save your information from any platform.

Benefits of using Dropbox

Being able to store our files in the cloud allows us to access them remotely. That is, you can check your files from any other device, anywhere in the world. This is a big plus if we don’t have our PC at hand and need access to some information.

On the other hand, this is a great relief, since we can make backup copies and therefore we would not lose our files; in case our devices are formatted. That is, thanks to Dropbox we can recover our data stored in the cloud. As mentioned at the beginning, Dropbox also facilitates the process of synchronizing photos and how to share content with our contacts.

How to share screenshots using Dropbox

If you’re new to Dropbox and aren’t sure what you should do to share screenshots, don’t worry. This app is a very useful tool and to share acquisitions using Dropbox you just have to follow the following steps to the letter.

• The first thing to do is download Dropbox and go to the toolbar. With that done, click on the Dropbox icon, which is like an open box. Then press the setting wheel and a menu will appear, in which you need to select the “Preferences” option
• Next, you will see that a window will open with many tabs. Now, locate the “Import” option and check the “Share screenshots using Dropbox” box. From now on, when you take a screenshot, it will automatically be saved in Dropbox.
• If you want to share a screenshot with your contacts, you need to capture it using the buttons on the keyboard. Usually, you can use a button on the keyboard called “Print Pant” (Print Screen), “Prt Sc” (Print Screen) or just “Print”, depending on the keyboard and keyboard language.
• After performing the previous step, you will see the following message “Do you want to save screenshots to Dropbox?” And you need to click on accept the option. However, you may need to close and open the program to receive that message.
• Now, when you open the Dropbox folder, you will notice that there is a new folder called “Screenshots”. It should be noted that if you open this folder you will see all the screenshots you have created.
• However, it is better than when you take a screenshot the link to the photo will be copied to the clipboard. With this activated, after creating the screenshot you just have to paste the link in the mail or chat, so that the image is shared.
• It’s ready! Now you can share acquisitions using Dropbox, easier, faster, and safer.
