Comment on Show HN: UpShot, Open Source Screenshot Sharing via Dropbox on OS X

Comments

I don't like having an app constantly running for this, or for it to intercept all my screenshots.

That is why I use a hacked version of Gyazo (http://gyazo.com/). I modified the script so that moves the file to dropbox instead of their monstrosity of a share page.

Gyazo is the best because you launch the app, are presented with a standard screenshot UI, and then the app closes and your URL is copied and opened in a browser.

Here is my modified gyazo script if you want to try it: https://gist.github.com/3390267

Worked off that to make one that uploads to s3:

https://github.com/RoboTeddy/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/screen...

- uses https, to keep url and screenshot secret

- uses long random filenames to prevent enumeration

- copies url to clipboard before upload starts, so you can paste it immediately
