Does the option to add an image via URL not work? I have tried in both Brave and Firefox desktop browsers and the Brave mobile app - clicking the "From URL" or "Upload File" doesn't appear to do anything.

The only thing that does anything from this menu is clicking the filepath to upload a file from local.

Am I missing something?

I didn't manage to do it in time, but it will be implemented soon.

Could we also add the pasting of image files themselves (ctrl + v)? I don't really want to physically save a screenshot first to be able to share it.

You can click on upload and then paste the URL of the image in. It will basically save the image to kbin and use that as the post.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Clicking on Upload file does nothing at this moment and I'm talking about pasting of actual image files, not of URLs. Like me doing a screenshot? That just sits in the clipboard for the moment. I want to be able to paste that straight into an upload without having to either save it or use a third party image hoster first.

Ah. I see what you're talking about. Yeah I don't have a way to do that. It'll be nice when that functionality is built out.

What I was referring to is when you click "Choose File..." you can paste an image URL in that and it will work as if you selected a file from your computer.

Okay, awesome. I just wanted to confirm that it wasn't just me not able to do it. 😆
