    For that, you need Terminal. Here’s how to change where screenshots are saved Mac Terminal style:

    1. On your Mac, create a folder called ”Screenshots” (or anything else you like)
    2. Go to Applications > Utilities and double-click on Terminal
    3. Type this command: `defaults write com.apple.screencapture location`
    4. Drag the “Screenshots” folder you’ve just created onto the Terminal window. You’ll see its path displayed after the command.
    5. Hit Return
    6. Quit Terminal
