ShareX, one of our favorite apps for Windows 11 and 10, has received a big update to version 17.0. It is now available for download from the official website and the app's built-in update mechanism. With version 17.0, ShareX received improvements to scrolling capture, a new notification sound, new hotkeys, and more.
In addition to new features, ShareX 17 removes certain things like Google Photos image uploader (this is due to recent changes to the Google Photos API), adf.ly URL shortener, and backward compatibility with sxcu files generated before version 12.4.0 (files responsible for custom uploaders to various hosting services). Before updating to ShareX 17, make sure to update your sxcu files.
