From which, you can enable it by clicking Save Screenshots to Dropbox feature. If you’ve selected No, thanks at that time, you can enable it later from Import tab in Dropbox Preferences.
If you’ve installed Screen capturing program like Snagit, then try to get that dialog using Alt + Print Screen shortcut, supposing Snagit already uses Print Screen shortcut by default.
Once you enable this feature, every time you press Print Screen button, screenshot will be captured and saved to Dropbox folder specifically at screenshots folder at the following path
