Sharex: Disable upload via registry/Group Policy

[mcmcghee]

Is there a registry key that can be set to disable uploads?

This would be needed for deployment in certain environments to prevent accidental upload of sensitive data.

Only this:

Hey @Jaex is there a way to get this set without changing it in the UI? I think the goal here for most requests around DisableUpload is that we would like to use ShareX in a corporate environment, and this seems to be a real barrier for administrators.

[Jaex]

Even if you change it outside UI still user can re enable it from settings.

I have a custom fork where I've modified the DisableUpload property to always return true; (https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/blob/master/ShareX/ApplicationConfig.cs#L218). I think we would want the registry setting (or some other means of configuration) to never allow that boolean to be false.

@Jaex I believe ShareX could have a lot more adoption in businesses if there was a administrator-controlled way to enforce screenshots do not get uploaded anywhere. The default behavior of public uploads with a confirmation screen on the first upload does not work in a corporate environment and probably scares away a lot of administrators.

Would you be willing to accept a PR that changes this behavior?

did we have any settings through group policy / firewall , which can enable us to restrict uploads on public code repositories
