If you're interested in learning more about the Bandwidth Alliance, check out Cloudflare's site, or the case studies my company Nodecraft did with both Cloudflare and Backblaze. Thanks to the Bandwidth Alliance though, egress between Backblaze and Cloudflare is entirely free, which we’ll be making heavy use of. Traditionally, like with a service such as AWS S3, you’d have to pay for bandwidth fees on the content being served which is generally the highest portion of your costs. The first 10GB of storage are entirely free, which is what we’ll be using for this tutorial. ShareX’s capabilities are extremely extensive so I won’t go into all of its features today, but it’ll be a large component in this tutorial.īackblaze B2 is a cloud storage solution similar to Amazon AWS S3, but at a fraction of the cost. ShareX integrates with many services like the previously mentioned Imgur, standard protocols like SFTP, as well as services like Amazon AWS S3 and Backblaze B2. ShareX is a fantastic tool for Windows that enables screen capture, file sharing, and much more. I'd recommend checking out this post on the Backblaze Blog for more info. Note: While the method outlined in this blog post provides additional configuration and still works very well, you can accomplish an almost identical result using Cloudflare Transform Rules nowadays, and zero code. Fun fact: every image you see in this post is hosted using this method. Setting up your own image hosting is very easy, and by following this tutorial, you can do it for free (within some very generous limits). Alternatively, you could upload the media to a site like Imgur or Gyazo, but these sites are often plagued with advertisements, or compress your content causing quality reduction. Traditionally, you can upload or paste these directly into the applications like Slack or Discord, but if you want to re-share that with another person, the process can be tedious. When communicating with people online, it’s very common to share images or screenshots of what you’re working on, or even screen recordings, gifs, and other media.
