Manual by design
Nothing uploads until you click the Drive action.
Use cloud storage you already trust
Share screenshots with Google Drive—only when you choose
Upload a Snip Halo capture directly from your Mac to Google Drive, keep it private first, and create a public link only after confirmation.
Built for “share screenshots with Google Drive” intent—without pretending Snip Halo records video, captures scrolling pages, or includes OCR.
Snip Halo does not operate a screenshot cloud. Its optional Google Drive integration sends the selected image straight from your Mac to your Drive using access limited to files Snip Halo creates.
Why it fits
A focused answer to the job.
Every feature below exists in the current Snip Halo app—not on a someday roadmap.
Private first
Each upload begins private. Public link access requires a separate confirmation.
Limited access
Snip Halo requests the drive.file scope, not unrestricted access to your Drive.
No Snip Halo backend
The image travels from your Mac to Google Drive, without being stored on Snip Halo servers.
The workflow
From shortcut to useful image.
Snip Halo is designed to keep the capture moving rather than becoming a project of its own.
