The windows version comes in 2 "different" versions, one portable and one via a standard installer. The only difference is where the data is stored.

For those of you who haven't seen the app before, some features:

  • Account support
  • Screenshot taking - Either custom draw rectangle, full screen or window selection mode (now saves transparency!)
  • Uploads directories as a zip file to make sharing directories with people easy
  • Allows you to queue uploads so you can drop any number of files and leave it to do its work
  • Can run in the sys tray - After setting some files to upload, you can minimise it to the sys tray
  • Toast notifications - when a file has uploaded (or when it fails) a toast notification will be shown to inform you
  • No forced settings - the tray icon, toast notifications, always on top status etc can be turned on/off in the settings window (click the i bottom left)
  • Self updating - both portable/installer versions check for an updated version when you start the program and can automatically download it, update and re-run the main app after updating

Feel free to spread the main site link to get as many people using as possible, I'd prefer it if you only linked to the main site and not the download links directly. Finally, thanks to mail for the design and to anyone who helped with bug finding / vista testing (Y)

Actually here's a request :p a screenshot taking part of the app, where you can define where to take a screenshot of. Don't know why I never suggested it before :p

pretty sure you've already told me about that, i know someone else asked for it. current stance is: it'll be added but i'm not sure if to do it like the snipping tool in vista, or a simple 'upload contents of clipboard' feature. i'll add it to the bugs part of the site though.

Quick status on the OS X widget, too: I've spent the summer learning Objective-C, meaning I can probably add some features to bring the OS X widget up to the same featureset as the Windows one. When I get around to that, it wil alsol be rebranded as the Localhostr Uploadr for OS X. These widgets are a joint project by Mike, mail, and I, and the hope is that in the future we will keep them consistent. Hopefully I'll get my widget closer to the pixel-perfect one mail wants, as well :p

So, just to be clear, the features not included in OS X, but that are in the Windows version:

  • Folder zipping and uploading
  • Progress bar
  • Thumbnails (removed previously due to problems on localhostr's end, planned to be reintroduced)

All of these should be in the next widget, along with some cleanup of the code and improved graphics.

yup i've been thinking of emulating it so it works on the xp "version" too

Taking a capture of what's behind the window then doing a blur on it?

Unless you've got a very fast method, you're going to have visual issues if you do it that way (Your window will move faster than you can update the blur)

if i was to do it, i'd probably only update when the window has stopped moving. there are more problems than the speed of it. For one there is actually getting the data that's behind the window and then there is a reliable way of knowing when the blur needs changing, won't only be when my window is moved

what is the domain list that localhostr uploads to?

it appeared to be blocked at my workplace, so i whitelisted the following:

localhostr.com

*.localhostr.com

the site works, but when i try to upload i recieve security errors... so i'm guessing something is still blocked.

it works fine at home on the same notebook.

  Mike said:
It's probably the update check which uses localhostruploadr.com when you run it. Rest of the connections will be to localhostr.com for uploading/checking account details.

Thanks, but it happens directly from the website...

I just thought you may now with making this app. I assumed it has another domain which it passes by.

    • OneDrive for Mac now lets you sync files to removable drives by Taras Buria If you use OneDrive on Mac and often work with external drives (a common sight among Mac users where internal storage is not upgradeable), Microsoft has some good news for you: the OneDrive client for macOS now supports removable drives, allowing you to sync files to external disks, both non-removable and removable. Microsoft introduced external drive support in OneDrive for Mac at the beginning of 2025. However, the initial rollout was limited to drives that macOS detects as non-removable. The company received plenty of feedback from users regarding this change, and it is now addressing the inability to sync files to removable drives. External drive support in OneDrive works the same way as syncing files to internal storage. If you unplug your drive, say, a portable SSD, OneDrive will stop syncing and notify you with an error message (there is a short delay for drives that sporadically disconnect). To resume sync, reconnect your drive and restart OneDrive. If you want to sync OneDrive to an external drive, your drive should be formatted for APFS (Apple File System) and protected by FileVault (read-only, network, and quarantined drives are not supported). Also, you need macOS version 15.0 or newer and OneDrive version 25.097 or newer. For now, external drive support is only available for insiders, but a wider rollout is coming soon. Finally, Microsoft adds that external drive support does not allow moving drives between devices. Therefore, you must set up OneDrive sync again every time you connect your drive to a new Mac. You can read more about external drive support in OneDrive for Mac in a post on the official Tech Community website.
