So frequently we need to upload screenshots of an error we get when using a software to the software support guys, or even send our cool desktop wallpaper for our friend to see.
The famous ImageShack(tm) offers provide an easy-to-use image hosting service for everyone.
What if you’re a programmer and need to send your code to the people in forums to take a look?
You can upload your code to YouSendIt.

It’s quite troublesome if you always need to open up your browser, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, browse to ImageShack(tm) or YouSendIt and upload your files.
What if there’s a “one click” way you can do it?
Yes, someone(Kirk Dunlap) thought of this idea and went ahead to create a Windows Explorer Context-Menu extension called Upload Express.


The program is called Upload Express and it enables you to upload images to ImageShack(tm), and application files to YouSendIt. You can also define your own custom FTP server to upload it to your own FTP, if you have one.
After installation, you will get this function by using your mouse to Right Click on your files.

To upload image to ImageShack(tm), just right click on your image and then select ImageShack Upload.

After upload complete, you’ll get the Image URL. This will be the link where your image is hosted.
If you try to upload an application (.exe) files, the ImageShack Upload selection will not appear because ImageShack only host images.

To upload files or image to YouSendIt, just right click on your image or files and select YouSendIt Upload.

After upload complete, you’ll also get the Image URL. This will be the link where your image or file is hosted.
You can upload application (.exe) files to YouSendIt.

Please check carefully on whether YouSendIt and ImageShack will host your files or images forever. If I am not mistaken, some free image/file hosting websites will automatically delete your file once it reaches the amount of downloads or time upload.

To upload your files to your own custom FTP server, you’ll need to set up first.

As you can see, everything is pretty straight forward.
Upload it to my own FTP server is the same as the way I did it on ImageShack and YouSendIt.

This software is free, useful and it does its job very well. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and memory. The author of this software will try to implement the following features in the next release.
1.) PASV support FTP
2.) Multiple file uploads
3.) Logging for the URLs that are returned
4.) Flickr support
