A free Dropshare alternative for Mac

Dropshare is a long-standing macOS app for uploading screenshots and files to storage you control. It is a paid product with a very wide list of upload destinations. CapturePush covers the core of the same idea — capture, annotate, upload to your own storage, get a link — as a free, lightweight menu bar app.

Where Dropshare Wins

Dropshare supports far more destinations, including consumer cloud drives, FTP and WebDAV, and adds extras such as URL shorteners, landing pages, screencasts with audio and webcam, and a companion iOS app. If you need any of those, it is the more complete product.

Where CapturePush Wins

• Free: no license, no subscription, no trial clock
• Focused: a small native menu bar app that does capture, annotate and upload, and little else
• Scrolling capture: stitch a long page into one tall image
• Simple self-hosting: SFTP to your own server or any S3-compatible bucket, configured in one preferences pane
• No account required: nothing to sign up for

Who Should Use Which

If your screenshots go to Dropbox, Google Drive or an FTP host, or you want shortened links and landing pages, Dropshare is the better fit. If they go to your own SSH server or an S3-compatible bucket and you want a fast capture-to-URL workflow at no cost, CapturePush does exactly that.
