LinxShare vs ShareX
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
LinxShare
LinxShare is an app to share images on your device with others through your self-hosted linx server. To upload an image simply share it with the LinxShare app and press Upload. After LinxShare uploads your image to your linx server, the app copies the resulting URL to your device's clipboard so you can paste it anywhere. LinxShare lets you configure your linx server address and its API key (if required) and let's you set up a default delete key and expiration time. When uploading an image, you'll be able to override these settings and change the filename.
