Why use a ShareX custom uploader?
A ShareX custom uploader turns screenshot capture into a fast link workflow. Instead of saving an image locally, opening a browser, uploading manually, and copying a URL, ShareX can send the file directly to Biohost and return the share link.
Biohost is a good fit for this workflow because the ShareX uploader can use a secure API key and let you choose how uploads should behave. Store files to your account when you want history and controls, or use temporary mode when the screenshot only needs to be shared for a short time.
How to generate the Biohost ShareX config
Sign in to Biohost, open Settings, and choose the ShareX tab. Pick whether ShareX should store uploads to your account or create temporary uploads. Then generate the uploader config and import the downloaded .sxcu file into ShareX.
The generated config includes the upload endpoint and your API key. Treat that key like a password for uploads. If it is exposed, revoke it from the ShareX settings and generate a new config.
- Use account mode when you want upload history, dashboard controls, and deletion options.
- Use temporary mode for screenshots, logs, and images that only need short-term access.
- Revoke and regenerate the API key if you shared the config accidentally.
- Keep the .sxcu file out of public repositories and public support threads.
Best ShareX destinations for Biohost
ShareX works especially well with Biohost for screenshots, images, support logs, short videos, ZIP files, and files you need to paste into Discord, forums, GitHub issues, support tickets, or team chat.
For sensitive files, use account storage and manage links from the dashboard. For disposable screenshots, temporary mode keeps the upload flow quick while still using authenticated API access.
