In Windows 10 or Windows 11, you can take screenshots using the Windows+Print Screen. When you do this, Windows automatically saves the captures to a special “Screenshots” folder, which is linked by default to C:\Users\[User Name]\Pictures\Screenshots. However, it’s quite easy to change this link so that these screenshots are saved to a different location, even to another drive or a Dropbox, for example.
To get started, first open File Explorer by pressing Windows+E on keyboard . Or you can right-click the Start button and select “File Explorer.”
When the File Explorer window opens, go to This PC > Pictures. Then, right-click on the “Screenshots” folder and select “Properties” from the menu that appears.

In the “Screenshot Properties” window, select the “Location” tab.
Using the text box on the “Location” tab, you can type the file path where you want Windows to save snapshots . Or, click the “Move” button and you can browse to the new location using the “Select Destination” window.
When you find the location you want to use, click the “Select Folder” button and then confirm your changes by clicking “OK” in the Screenshot Properties window. If Windows asks you if you want to move existing files to the new location, click “Yes” or “No” depending on your preference.
