ShareX has an advanced hotkey system which allows you to use any of these

are called "Workflows". Workflows allow each hotkey to have its own after

your screen recording hotkey to upload to a specific destination, bypassing
the default destination. This way, only videos will be uploaded to this
configured file destination.
