Easy screenshot sharing with Dropbox and Hazel

I often find myself using Dropbox’s public folder to share quick screenshots. This is a fairly tedious process, but it’s better than dealing with IM/firewall/vpn issues. To streamline things a bit, I recently setup a Hazel rule that automatically moves screenshots to Dropbox and copies the link to my clipboard.

To set this up for yourself, first add the Desktop folder to Hazel:

Hazel Folder Setup

Then, setup the rule as follows:

Now, you can simply press Command+Shift+4 to take screenshots and Command+V to paste the links.
