When you take a screenshot, a link to that screenshot, or the screenshot itself will be copied. You can paste the link or image where you'd like to share it.
Where do my screenshots go?
Your screenshots will be automatically saved in a folder named “Screenshots”. You can find this folder in your personal space on Dropbox (the folder with your name on it).
