I know its a long way around but I use the xbox app on my phone. Download the screen shot then email it to myself then......save it to my computer then upload it here.
I used to go xboxdvr.com but started getting too many "friend" requests from people with zero rep.

Direct links in IMG tags are best for the forums, there is a forum upload size limit and some 4k ones can exceed it.
Maybe the file size is an issue? Try converting the PNGs to JPGs

the issue i have is the pics are not even uploading to the third party site anymore, so at the moment im having to do what @KILLJA WITTA is suggesting

Can you download Onedrive?
Share the screenshot to Onedrive, open the screenshot in Onedrive, select - view original, which opens the screenshot in Microsoft Edge.
You can then (save as) to the storage on your Xbox then whenever you need to upload them they're in the picture folder.

~~Try gameclips.io instead (it used to be xboxclips.com). That's what I use. Xboxdvr went a bit heavy on the ads a while ago~~

Hello, I'm an idiot

tafkabb · Mar 30, 2021

In your Xbox preferences/settings, make sure 'share to 3rd parties' is enabled. Something like that, I'm not at home to check

FixMeNow · Apr 5, 2021

Microsoft must of changed something, because all the 3rd party websites are not updating.

I cant seem to find a setting to enable 3rd party sharing

Well that's grim. I've been looking at my profile feed on xbox.com and none of my screenshots or videos are there, just achievements and added friends. It looks like they're trying to push everyone to using their mobile app, where they do appear. That means uploading to Imgur or somewhere though, which is a pain.
I wondered why nobody has liked any of my screenshots since Feb

I use an external thumb drive with my 1X and save everything to that. Then plug into my Mac and everything goes into my Library. As an added bonus I can make 4K videos longer than 30 seconds!

UTU2TM · Apr 6, 2021

I plugged an external drive into my Xbox, and also lost that capability.
Once unplugged, and the grabs are stored on the internal drive, I'm able share.
Maybe that is what's happening.

JonathanBurnage · Apr 7, 2021

Hmm maybe it needs to be on the internal storage to work then?

tafkabb · Apr 11, 2021

~~OK, I get it. After taking/uploading a screenshot or video, you have to then manually share it to your activity feed for it to show up on external services.~~

Oh it's still broken. I have no idea what's going on
