An enhanced screenshot and sharing tool for Linux: ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud is a great little app you didn’t even know you needed. The default screenshot process on desktop Linux is pretty good (the PrtScr button), and we even have some powerful screenshot tools like Shutter. However, ScreenCloud has a very simple yet very convenient feature that made me fall in love with it. Before we get into it, let's look at a backstory.

I took a lot of screenshots, far more than the average person. Receipts, registration details, development work, screenshots of the program in the article, and more. All I do next is open a browser, browse to my favorite cloud storage and dump the important stuff there so I can access them on my phone and across multiple operating systems on my PC. This also allows me to easily share screenshots of the programs I'm working on with my team.

I had no complaints about this standard screenshot process of opening a browser and logging into my cloud, then manually uploading screenshots, until I came across ScreenCloud.

ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud is an easy-to-use cross-platform screenshot tool that supports Linux, Mac and Windows. It also provides online picture sharing services, where users can take screenshots using ScreenCloud and share them online.

In addition to supporting ScreenCloud's own image sharing service, it also supports FTP and SFTP. The latest version also supports third-party storage services such as Dropbox, Imgur, Ubuntu one, etc.

ScreenCloud is smooth, and a lot of attention has been paid to the details. It provides you with very easy to remember hotkeys to capture full screen, active window or mouse selected area.

Default keyboard shortcuts for ScreenCloud

After taking a screenshot, you can set up ScreenCloud to handle the image or upload it directly to the cloud service of your choice. It even supports SFTP. Once the screenshot is uploaded (usually within seconds), a link to the image is automatically copied to your clipboard, making it easy to share.

You can also do some basic editing with ScreenCloud. To do this, you need to set “Save to” to “Ask me”. This setting is available in the app icon menu and is usually set by default. When using it, when you take a screenshot you'll see the option to edit the file. Here you can add arrows, text, and numbers to your screenshot.

Installing ScreenCloud on Linux

Project homepage: http://screencloud.net/ScreenClound has entered the Ubuntu official software source

ScreenCloud is available in the Snap store. So, you can easily install it on Ubuntu and other Snap-enabled distributions by visiting the Snap store or running the following command.

sudo snap install screencloud

For Linux distributions that don't have a Snap installer, you can download the AppImage here. Go into the download folder, right click and open the terminal there. Then run the following command.

sudo chmod +x ScreenCloud-v1.4.0-x86_64.AppImage

You can then launch the program by double-clicking the downloaded file.

Is ScreenCloud suitable for everyone? Probably not. Is it better than the default screenshot? may be. If you're taking a screenshot of something, chances are it's important or something you want to share. ScreenCloud makes it easier and faster to backup or share your screenshots. So, if you want these features, you should try ScreenCloud.
