This time I will try using " Dropbox ". Click "Step 1: ~".

When logging in, this screen will be displayed, so click "Permit".

Since the character string is displayed, copy it.

Paste the copied character string into the field below "Verification code:", and click "Step 2: ~" below it to complete the cooperation.

In addition, "ShareX" uploads captured images anonymously to " Imgur " in the default state. If you do not want to upload images unnecessarily, you need to change the setting by clicking "Destinations" "Image uploader" in advance.

◆ Try to use <br> To capture, click "Capture" in the left menu and then select the capture method. "ShareX" has a capture method which the capture software has, for example, "Fullscreen" which captures the whole screen of the PC which is currently displayed, "Window" which can capture by selecting the window, etc. Yes. Also, if you enable "Show cursor" at the bottom, the mouse cursor will be inserted into the captured image.

By clicking the following thumbnails, you can see how crisp captures are being captured using "ShareX" with animated GIFs.

The image captured in this way will be uploaded instantly to the Dropbox you set earlier.

There is also a function to capture the specified range with animated GIF. The animation GIF above is also made with this function.

Right click and click "Edit image" to go to the edit screen.

You can insert frames and text on the edit screen.

It also has an OCR function . Click "Capture" and then click "Text capture (OCR)".

When you select the character you want to read ......

As expected, the logo of GIGAZINE is garbled, but the text is recognizable with considerable precision though the arrangement of the lines is somewhat funny.

"ShareX" is the perfect free software for those who often upload captured images to online storage or SNS. Also, since it can also be uploaded to the server via FTP, it is perfect for people who often capture images and post on the homepage or blog. On the other hand, when uploading to SNS etc., you may need to be careful not to upload the screen containing personal information before you notice it.
