Flameshot is a really nice screenshot tool, but the big drawback is, that it only upload to Imgur, one of the worst Data hogs. The best and most complete is ShareX, there you can set the destinations to your like, but it has also a big drawback, it's Windows only (depends on NETframework, same as Greenshot)

➡️

You can use Flameshot, but recomment to store the screenshots only locally and upload to share/host later to, eg vgy.me, or some self hosted one, like FileCoffee (valid for all type of files, image, video, multimedia, documents, presentations, etc.)

Flameshot can run a script once it saves a screenshot, so it can effectively be uploaded anywhere. Like zipline for example.

I still prefer ksnip over flameshot though.

Yes, but anyway, everybody wish ShareX in Linux, but nobody dares to fork ShareX for Linux. Until now there sadly isn't any equivalent tool for Linux

Indeed. I went on a many hour hunt for alternatives, even trying some wine methods of getting sharex itself working. Ksnip was the next best option, and gifine for gifs/mp4

Yes, in Linux you need 3-4 different apps to do the same as you can do with ShareX
