GrabBox | Simple screenshot sharing for Mac

Simple screenshot sharing for Mac

GrabBox is a utility that reacts to the screenshots you take. It automatically copies the screenshots to your Dropbox Public folder, and then copies the URL to the clipboard โ€“ ready to share with friends or strangers!

Just start GrabBox and then take a screenshot like usual (Shift-Command-3 or Shift-Command-4 and select). GrabBox takes care of the rest!

How is GrabBox different from similar tools?

GrabBox offers:

  • Free hosting (via Dropbox) with no ads.
  • Automatic short URLs, for convenient tweeting (optional).
  • Full control over which screenshots get uploaded.
  • Ability to specify a screenshot file-name or to let GrabBox generate one automatically.
  • Choose between a Dock icon or a discreet menubar item.

All GrabBox requires is Dropbox (free!) installed on your computer. So, what are you waiting for?

* E-mail is optional โ€“ if you choose to enter it, you will be subscribed to our very low-volume newsletter โ€“ it will never be used for sinister purposes.
