Any way to use Windows snipping tool and paste into a form without saving a file?

Hi,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

I actually found that it's possible. I use a tool which takes a screenshot and then I just drag and drop it into the File Upload section of the form.

Would that work?

Andree;

Sounds encouraging. What tool did you use to take the screenshot?

The two I use the most (on Mac) are:

https://www.getcloudapp.com/

https://eternalstorms.at/ScreenFloat

Would those work/help? CloudApp is available on PC as well.

My user community is primarily PC/Windows based. After review, I think the only tool that would be useful is what is built into Windows. I will poke at it a bit more ...

Yes, the snippet tool in Windows might work as well.

They key is that it need to be possible to drag and drop without saving.

Let me know how it goes!

Andree, I can't see a way to "move" a snipping tool snip into a SmartSheet form without the intermediate step of saving the snip as a file and then attaching it.

The search continues ...

Ok.

Have a look at the troubleshooting (recorder) steps solution. Don't remember the exact name.

Do you know what I mean?
