Very lightweight, free, open source, and constant support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is a bit intimidating for users who are not proficient in discovering the usage of software without documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the customisability of the tool while remaining a brilliant utility out of the box with no configuration at all. The ability to chain together a screenshot with a social media upload is extremely useful and takes less time out of working on a project since all the work done saving and uploading the image is done by ShareX. I'm constantly tweeting screenshots of projects in development so followers can come closer to the process and see things in the works and I probably wouldn't do that very often if it wasn't for ShareX.

There's not much to dislike really, I'm really going to have to try here! I suppose the menus are a bit daunting to new users who may just want to set up something simple (screenshots to Dropbox for example) and some of the terminology isn't best explained so it may be a bit confusing, especially for a non-native English speaker. Additionally, the Twitter message input box (and I assume all other input boxes for share messages) doesn't support certain control/unicode characters such as Ctrl+Backspace to delete entire words and Emojis/Unicode emoticons. Other than that, everything else is perfect and I'm really happy this product is free and open source! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ShareX is absolutely gorgeous.

You can upload files, snapshots of your entire or part of your screen, videos, and whatnot. Not only that, but it is highly flexible, you can define lots of hotkeys, pre-upload tasks, post-upload tasks, where to upload and even URL shortening.

It comes with a lot of pre-defined uploading services (such as Dropbox, Imgur, GitHub Gist, FTP as well), but if you aren't happy nor want any of those, you can easily add instructions on how to use another API, this on the app GUI, no need to edit the source code for this.

I've used lots of services like this, initially only for screenshoting, but ShareX is on the next-level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The high flexibility comes at the cost of a little bit of time to gasp it on the setup phase, but once you get past that, it's all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using ShareX for about a year and a half and I've never even thought of switching to another software. I've even installed it on the computers of the people in my family because it's that convenient. What really makes it for me is how simple it is to use and how incredibly deep the software gets for people that care to actually dig into it.

ShareX has an absurd number of features available, it's incredibly lightweight, easy to get into using on a constant basis, and highly configurable to a point where you can even specify custom locations where you want your files to be uploaded and how.

It has features for uploading not only images and screenshots, but also files, text documents, and even video files, going as far as to let you choose the specific host for where you want each particular type of media to go to. It integrates into Windows Explorer via the "Send to..." menu, so uploading files is as seamless as using Windows itself.

Compared to other similar screenshot software, like Lightshot, Puu.sh and even some more obscure ones like Postimg, ShareX just does it better.

All in all, ShareX just has the level of customization and configurability I need as a power user on my laptop day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Off the top of my head I can't really think of any real flaws in it, I use it very constantly day to day, and I don't think I've ever ran into any problems with it at all.

I suppose one thing that could be improved is the preferences and configuration menus, as they're a bit split up and sometimes it's hard to figure out precisely what menu I need to get into in order to change what I want.

I suppose having a port of this to mobile platforms, especially Android would be incredibly nice.

One thing I always find myself struggling with on Android is getting files onto the cloud and synced with my computer efficiently.

Outside of that, I can't really point at any one thing and say "That, that needs to be fixed."

ShareX is one of the most cohesive, easy to use, and convenient pieces of software out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ShareX is so packed with options and modes that it's hard to think of any screenshot-workflow-related functionality that it doesn't have. Also, because it's open source it's not impossible to hack something in if you discover that you need it. The automatic uploading and URL-to-clipboard feature takes you from screenshot to useful image link in - at worst - seconds.

The .gif recorder functionality is especially useful and performs far and away better than any other .gif recording utility I've ever found.

Oh, and the repo is actually pretty well maintained, and pretty solidly organized for a project of the sort (or, at least a lot better than the usual fare) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having so many options makes it a little overwhelming at first blush. I think it could benefit from a UX rework - even something like a basic/advanced mode toggle would help quite a bit for non-developer users.

Occasionally an Imgur upload will hang or bug out. It's infrequent, but annoying when it does happen. I suspect, though, that it's more of a problem on Imgur's end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best: feature to change image hosting service on the fly. Time to time, i have some images hosting blocked by our internal rules/country providers, With proprietary software it can be problem (because it's usually can upload only to one server). ShareX allows bypass it easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so flexible sequence of actions. For example, after capture of image i can't edit it, and then automatically upload to hosting. I should open ShareX main window, find my image, edit it, and then re-upload. While other time i wan't upload it without editing immediately. I think this can be improved.

Ability to connect different backend services to choose favorite and use (Google Drive, Dropbox, Picasa, GitHub Gists, etc). It's became even more important if compare to competitors like clip2net - usual screenshot capturing software binds you to use their custom servers and show ads or force you to pay to remove them. While with ShareX you can use your usual service (like Google Drive) for free and without annoying ads or payments.

Feature rich and flexible workflow - one button press makes screenshot, uploads it, shortens link and copies that link to clipboard - very easy to use. Become even better because you can fine-tune every aspect - what to capture, where to upload, which format to use, what service to shorten links by, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some options can be not so easy to understand or find for the first time but that is not a huge problem because main preferences are set only once after installation and used for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Variety of supported services, ability to select and customize actions, very intuitively customize and set everything up.

I like that I'm able to set up keyboard shortcuts for very specific operations. This helps a lot.

I also like that this software supports several different platforms for each different operation: image hosting, file hosting, text uploading etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software has had one issue, but it's no longer present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regex support, support for self hosted services, ease of use, there's really not much to ask for.

Saves a copy of the file immediately to your computer, which can also be turned off, to save disk space.

Image previews, history browsing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish it had linux support, or there was a linux equivalent, you can make something basic similar to sharex easily but it's not quite as interesting or as useful, which is a shame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about ShareX is its flexibility. I can modify hotkeys, pre/post processing tasks and customize upload targets. It comes with a bunch of other neat tools too for general media manipulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to use puu.sh, which was really convenient for both link shortening, and sharing all kinds of files. You could upload images, videos and pdfs which would be viewed in the browser, as well as generic archives or binaries that would be downloaded. With the default ShareX setup, different media types would be uploaded to different places, some better or worse than others. Setting up custom / personal infrastructure for this took a bit of time, both on the server side and ShareX client side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
