Sharing screenshots on Mac OS X + Dropbox

Almost every month, various programs for creating screenshots and their publication appear.
I'll tell you briefly how I did it on my poppy.

For many, it is no secret that, by default, a program for creating screenshots using the Command-Shift-3 hotkeys is built into the Mac ... Command-Control-Shift-4 (for more details here ). Screenshots are saved to the desktop.

Also, many people know that there is a wonderful product, dropbox.com , with which you can share folders.
In the context of the menu of public (public) folders there is an item “send link to file”.

The case remains small: put the dropbox and redirect the creation of screenshots to a public folder. To do this, after installing the dropbox, we open the terminal and enter there:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Full/Path/To/Folder
killall SystemUIServer

')
(more info here )
With the first command we set the path, with the second we reboot the UI service in order for the updates to take effect without a logout.

Now the screenshots are created in the dropbox folder, we can click on them with the right mouse button, take the link and give it to friends.
