How To Change Where You Save Screenshots Your on Mac
The Mac is a kind of personal computer which comes in different forms either in desktop, in laptop or in tablet PC. It is manufactured and also marketed by the Apple Inc., which is running on the Mac operating system, known as the Mac OS.
If you want to take a screenshot on Mac it is not a straightforward process at all, but once you have figured out the correct keyboard shortcut on your Mac, it still will save all of your screenshots straight to the Desktop just by default. You can easily change that it is pretty easy, though. Let us take a close look at how this process can be carried out.
Getting Started
1. You can start by changing the default save location from the screenshot tool. Begin this process by pressing the Command+Shift+5 all simultaneously on your keyboard. You will discover this function on the Mac keyboard with Command+Shift+5.
2. The next thing to do, in the screenshot tool, tap the “Options” button. Whe
3. When you have clicked on the "Options" button, at the top of the pop-up menu, that is under the Save To section, you will discover the following built-in options:
The Desktop: The default option of desktop, is the function which will help to save all your screenshots as individual files.
The Clipboard: You are going to make use of this option to paste the shot into a different app immediately. It is probably the cleanest choice to choose if you do not like to clutter up your hard drive with some extra files.
The Messages: This option will help you open a new message along with the screenshot attached. This will enable you to send it to one or any of your contacts as quick as possible.
The Mail: This option will help you to create a new email in the Mail app having the screenshot attached. If you would like to send your screenshots through a web client like that of the Gmail, it is best to use the Clipboard option and then paste it in manually.
Preview: This function will open the screenshot in the Preview, where you can easily edit it before you can finally save it to your computer or you can also copy it to the clipboard.
Alternatively, at the bottom of the list of your options, you can just tap the “Other Location” listing to enable you select a different folder on your computer. A Finder window will then appear. Now you need to navigate to the desired folder and then you tap on the “Choose” button.
After you have clicked on the "Choose" button, whatever setting you have chosen, your Mac will be able to remember this setting and will make use of it for all screenshots in the future. You can also make use of the same menu to set a 5- or a 10-second timer, show a floating thumbnail, just remember the last selection, and whether or not to display the mouse pointer in screenshots.
