ShareX Linux Script

This script allows you to take a screenshot using Flameshot and upload it to a XBackbone ShareX server. Before using the script, you need to replace the placeholder values with your actual XBackbone ShareX server URL and authentication token.

sudo mv upload_screenshot.sh /usr/bin/upload_screenshot

4. Make the script executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/upload_screenshot

Usage

To use the script, open a terminal and run the following command:

upload_screenshot

The script will take a screenshot using Flameshot, upload it to the specified XBackbone ShareX server, and provide you with the URL. The URL will also be copied to your clipboard for easy sharing.

Note: Make sure you have set up your XBackbone ShareX server URL and obtained an authentication token before running the script. Replace the server_url and auth_token variables in the script with your actual values.

If the screenshot upload is successful, you will receive a notification with the URL. In case of an error, an appropriate error message will be displayed.

Please ensure you have an active internet connection before running the script, as it requires internet access to upload the screenshot to the XBackbone ShareX server.
