Utilizing API’s from Cloud App — the popular cloud storage solution that allows you to share images, links, music, videos and files — CloudyShots takes the headache out of getting your screenshots from your iPhone to share online with your friends.
If you can remember ‘SB 2 Cloud‘ came out last year with pretty much this exact same functionality. Is CloudyShots nothing more than a blatant, albeit free, rip-off?

Once your install CloudyShots, you’ll notice a settings section in your Settings.app. From there you can enter your Cloud App’s login credentials. If you don’t already have an account with Cloud App, you can score a free one here.

A few moments after your screenshot is taken, you’ll notice a cute little cloud icon in your status bar signifying that the upload has began. Again, exactly how SB 2 Cloud works.

There aren’t many differences between SB 2 Cloud and CloudyShots, in fact it is without a doubt a rip-off of SB 2 Cloud.
Nonetheless, it is a good rip-off, and it’s also free for jailbroken iPhones. In light of that, it’s difficult to be too hard on CloudyShots for emulating SB 2 Cloud so closely. After all, they say emulation is the finest form of flattery.
Hopefully this will inspire the developer of SB 2 Cloud, which currently costs $1.49, to up the ante and add some more options… *cough* Droplr and Dropbox support and auto resizing *cough*
