I want something like that, but if I'm asked to shell out $50 for a box that does what I can do on Imgur/Instagram/Photos for free, I'm going to turn my nose on it.

With 99% of the images I want to share on the web - I don't really care if they aren't going to be around in five months time.

Also, what if the vendor of the box (That handles the integrations with third-party hosts) goes out of business? Am I going to now have to figure out how to hack my hardware to be allowed to talk to <Whatever the new image hosting service> is?

This is an inescapable rabbit hole of third-party dependencies.
