This topic comes up over and over so here is the answer for all who may be wondering. Sharing images to this forum can seem a bit tedious and requires a little bit of setup to do efficiently. However, after the initial setup it is quite easy to repeat in just seconds. I use only a mobile device and a computer/laptop is in no way required. On to the meat...
You have 2 choices to get your screenshots from ps4 to your mobile/laptop
1a) Link a twitter account to your ps4. Playstation no longer works with facebook. Head to twitter.com and make an account. Next, on your ps4 open up the settings and go to ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT. Choose the option LINK WITH OTHER SERVICES, select twitter, and login to complete the link. Its a good idea to link your twitch/youtube while you are here as you can upload videos in the same way.
You can take a screenshot with the share button on your controller, and upon doing so a menu will pop up on the left side of your screen. Simply select screenshot, and a new page will pop up asking where you want to share to... select twitter and you're done.
Visit your twitter on your mobile/laptop and download the image to your device's storage. You are now ready for step 2 below.
1b) for mobile/tablet only, download playstation messenger on your device from the play/apple store free of charge. You will have to send your screenshot in a message to one of your playstation friends, I use inactive ones personally. After sending, open your app on your phone and check your outgoing, the image will be visible and downloadable from there. This also works in transferring from your device to your playstation. After downloading it you are ready for step 2 below.
2.) Once you have your image(s) saved to your device, visit an image hosting website. There are many choices, but imgbb.com gets my recommendation because it is easy and requires no signup. On imgbb, just click "start uploading" and select all the images you want to post together. Once that is finished you will see a dropdown menu that says FORMAT. This forum uses BBCODE and I recommend choosing BBCODE (full linked) Just copy and paste that into your thread and you are done. Could it be easier? Sure. But this is all we have.
