I use FastStone Capture (Win/desktop) primarily because it allows me to take screenshots (or capture video) using any program (browser or non-browser). It can auto-save to an output folder and/or auto-upload via FTP. With this, it's easy to find a solution to sync a sub-directory to the cloud. I also initially considered using a browser extension, but often the info I want to screenshot isn't rendered in the browser (Outlook email rendering, CSV data versus Excel/SQL import, etc) and FastStone has some really nice annotation tools.

I use flameshot to take screenshots and copy them to my clipboard, and then I directly paste my images in a very simple hosting tool (dirty php) hosted on my own server :)
