Or even, for no syncing, just:defaults write location '/Users/YOURUSERNAMEINLOWERCASE/Screenshots' Of course, you might not have an iCloud Drive, or you might be using Dropbox, in which case try:defaults write location '/Users/YOURUSERNAMEINLOWERCASE/Dropbox/Screenshots' This version of the command will redirect screenshots to your iCloud Drive, where it will sync to all your other devices, including your mobile devices. Open the command prompt and type the following command, all one one line, remembering to substituate YOURUSERNAMEINLOWERCASE for your actual user name:defaults write location '/Users/YOURUSERNAMEINLOWERCASE/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Screenshots' There is a way to do this using the screenshot app itself, I prefer the command line. Step 1 - Move Screenshots Folder off the Desktop

In response, I kludged something together which works really well for me as it provides the following features: The macOS screenshot app is very well made but it does have a weakness, namely it’s a time consuming multi-step process to actually getting the screenshot and attaching the resultant screen snip to whatever medium - email, slack, sms, twitter, etc. - you’re focused on, especially if I want to use my iPhone to send the screenshot but my Mac to take it. I usually forget about these if I don’t need them, but when I do I can dig through my screenshots folder and see what I can find. Usually I’m sharing something but increasingly I’m making a recording, like a cancellation confirmation or bill payment. A quick look at my screenshot folder suggests I’ve done this at least 5,000 times in the past five years. I like to share bits of my screen on a regular basis.
