Are you Legally Allowed to add a Screenshot to Google Drive and Create a Sharing Link for Proof?
<p>Let's give this for an example:</p>

<p>Billy lives in Oregon. Somebody said something in a non-logged chat, and Billy wants to prove they said it. He adds a photo to his Google Drive without the person's consent and shares the link in the chat. Is this legal?</p>

<h2>Taking a screenshot on your computer is legal; sharing it may not be</h2>

<p>It's your computer; you can take as many screenshots as you like. You can keep these and use them for your own purposes including legal purposes.</p>

<p>Where you get into legal trouble is if you share a communication where there was a reasonable expectation of privacy. If I send you a message in a private chat room then there is a reasonable expectation that the communication is private to the members of the chatroom. If one of the members breaches that privacy and I suffer damage as a result then I may be able to sue.</p>
