Dropbox 2.3.12 Experimental Available for Download, Adds options to Capture and Share Screenshots

Dropbox has released version 2.3.12 as an "Experimental" build. This new version introduces several new features includes Screenshot to Dropbox. You can now use Dropbox to capture and share screenshot images of your desktop with a simple keyboard shortcut. The feature is available for both Windows and Mac.

Overview
Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. The green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents.
