Observe for new screenshots, upload them and generate public link for sharing

[Commifreak]

Hi,

a nice feature could be the automatically upload of taken screenhots to a specified location inside the cloud like DropBox manages that.

I cant find any ticket regarding to this, so: If one exists, please close this one :)

Why limit this to Mac OS? Windows and most window managers have a similar functionality.

Then again, most of them store screen shots in a user-definable directory. So why not use that?

Hi, sorry for the indistinctness:

Yes, right, this should available for all supported OSs, I've set '[Mac]' to show, what client I use.
And, yes: It could be possible to use the system settings to store the taken screenshot direct into owncloud. I mentioned 'like DropBox manages that' and forgot to say, that DP stores a public link to the clipboard. THAT feature would be awesome.

would be very nice to have a screenshot feature.
press print button or strg+print, then automaticly upload and share

Would also really like this feature, love the dropbox one, but for work where we use owncloud would be really handy

I like the solution to upload new items in a specified folder and then provide a public link via the clipboard the most.
Then it could also be used to rapidly "drop-and-share" docs, the are many possibilities and the user can decide how to use this folder, it wouldn't be limited to screenshots.
Really miss this feature.

I forked a repo and adapted it for gnome-shell https://github.com/theonlydoo/ocss in desperate wait of this feature in oc client.

Love this feature in Dropbox. I need this a few times a week on Windows and Linux (Firefox).

Thanks,

I'm using ocss on macOS now and its great, I have 1 key combo for dropbox and a different one for ocss.

I made a version w/ url shortening using yourls and another bind w/ shutter edition if you're intredasted

[AlexStanovsky]

Is there a windows solution for that ?

Hey @AlexStanovsky, we are currently getting proposals from students applying to GSoC to integrate this whole workflow with the client (https://central.owncloud.org/t/gsoc-2017-screen-shot-sharing-service/6060) so scripts are no longer required. Stay tuned for news!
