Rightload

Rightload is a simple-to-use piece of software that lets you quickly upload files from the Windows Explorer right-click menu. It supports servers for custom plugins, and the built-in ones are for Facebook, Flickr, Imageshack, Imgur and VirusTotal.

Setting up this software application is a fast and easy job. You can select the plugins you want to install and optionally enable image resizing. It integrates an entry in the Explorer context menu for adding selected files to a queue.

You can add as many files to the queue as you want before uploading them online, as well as add them from URLs or the Clipboard. Once uploaded, the tool generates links with the stored files.

Before doing so, however, you might be interested in configuring upload and other types of settings. It's possible to modify the default server, URL tags, action for existing files and missing directories (e.g. overwrite, rename, prompt user), along with the transfer type (auto, binary, ASCII).

Custom servers for uploading files may be created for FTP, SFTP and HTTP. All you have to do is indicate the host name or IP address, port number, user name, password, directories auto-sort rules, web root and default folder, path mirroring base, and URL mask. Directories can be synchronized with one click.

As far as image editing options are concerned, you can resize all uploaded photos to a fixed size, create and frame thumbnails, show the original picture's dimensions in the thumbnails, and specify a file renaming pattern.

Rightload can be asked to record log details to file, minimize during upload jobs when launched from the context menu, show a URL preview window during this time, exit or copy all links to the Clipboard on task completion, or to replace spaces in the file names with underscores.

The software application carried out uploading jobs swiftly during our tests while remaining light on system resource consumption. It didn't hang, crash or show errors. Although it's a little rough around the edges, Rightload is backed by powerful and intuitive options, and it can be handled by anyone looking for a simple and fast method to upload files to various servers.
