macOS

Fileship generates a shell script for macOS that captures a region of the screen (or uploads the files you give it), copies the link and shows a notification. It uses only tools macOS ships with: screencapture, curl, pbcopy and osascript.

Get the script

1. Open Settings → Integrations, set your Upload options and choose Download on the macOS card. You get fileship.sh with your address, upload token and options inside.
2. Make it executable:
   sh

   chmod +x ~/Downloads/fileship.sh
   mkdir -p ~/bin
   mv ~/Downloads/fileship.sh ~/bin/fileship.sh
   

Use it

~/bin/fileship.sh                 # capture a region and upload it
~/bin/fileship.sh report.pdf a.png  # upload files
~/bin/fileship.sh --link https://example.com/long  # shorten a link

Without arguments, the crosshair of screencapture -i appears; press Escape to cancel. With files, each is uploaded and the links are copied together, separated by spaces. --link is there when your account can shorten links.

Keyboard shortcut

1. Open the Shortcuts app and create a shortcut with one Run Shell Script action.
2. Enter the full path, for example ~/bin/fileship.sh.
3. In the shortcut's details, add a keyboard shortcut.
4. Run it once. macOS asks to allow screen recording for Shortcuts (or the app that runs it); allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording.

Things to know

• The script sends each file in one request; your reverse proxy must accept bodies as large as the file.
• The token is stored in the script in plain text. Keep it private, and download the script again after Regenerate.
• To change the options, download the script again.
