ShareX Configuration

This URL Shortener has fully support with ShareX. To use it, just import the configuration to your ShareX. For that you need to open the Destination settings => Other / Custom uploaders => Import => From Clipboard.

After you've done this, you need to set it as your standard URL Shortener. For that go back into your main menu => Destinations => URL Shortener => Custom URL Shortener.
