Can't save screenshots to desktop - reverts to a 'screenshots' folder in Dropbox

Hi All,


I'm unable to save screenshots to my desktop, they now are saved to a 'screenshots' folder in Dropbox. This happens even though my settings are set to save to 'desktop'.


I can delete the 'screenshots' folder in Dropbox, but it just comes back whenever I take another screenshot. I've used several apps now for screenshots, and the same thing happens with them all.


I've looked for setting in Dropbox - can't find any that seem to relate to this issue.


I started to have this issue recently, around the same time that Parallels for Desktop and Ventura updated.


If anyone has any ideas - I'd be very appreciative.

Try disabling "Share screenshots and screen recordings using Dropbox" in the Dropbox settings under the Backups tab.
