The feature of taking screenshots of macOS has a peculiarity: as a default, images are always saved on the table (Desktop) of the machine. However, this may not be ideal for everyone, as the Desk varies widely depending on the organization, jobs and custom of each Mac user.

Few know, but it is possible to change that. The Mac Screen Capture tool, native to macOS, brings a series of features that can be readjusted in relation to the prints taken on the machine, and one of them is precisely in relation to the place where they are automatically saved. When changing this, screenshots made by keyboard shortcuts will be sent to the new defined folder.

Step 2: in the tool menu, click on “Options”. In the first section of the window that will open, you will find suggestions for folders and locations, including the Mesa, which should be your current location, as this is the default macOS location. If you want to use a specific folder for that, which is not appearing among the suggestions, click on “Another Location”.

Step 3: a new window will open so that you can search for the folder you want to use as the location where your Mac screen shots will be automatically saved. If you prefer, you can create a new folder just for this purpose. After defining the folder, click “Choose”.
