How do you click a button with an arrow going into a cloud, and then be surprised that you've uploaded the screenshot online? Super useful feature. Will miss it.

Dammit, I misunderstood the icon, and was clicking that button every time I farted.

Didn't test it. Your explanation sounds reasonable. Has been bitten before by an open source (I think) program that was for taking screenshots but that forget to mention it would also, by default, upload them. Be very cautious when working with new software in sensitive settings.

> "How do you click a button with an arrow going into a cloud, and then be surprised that you've uploaded the screenshot online?" God forbid somebody clicks the button called "Save" thinking that it would save the file, rather than deciphering the icon to determine that the button labeled "Save" is actually "Share". Why not rename this (https://0x0.st/zKfv.png https://0x0.st/zKfv.png) menu entry to "save" too while they're at it? And why is that the only button with text in it? The others have tool tips, but otherwise they're just bare icons. The only one with text is the share button that says "Save". It's indefensible. It should have never made it past code review, let alone stuck around for several revisions. If the button had said "Share" instead of "Save", there never would have been any complaints about it.

To save the file, instead of clicking the big, colored "Save" button you must click the smaller, gray "Download" button. Where does it download from? From my computer to my computer? How did that ever make sense to anyone?
