Launch Terminal and use the following syntax:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /path/

For example, if I want to have the screenshots appear in my Pictures folder:


defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Pictures/


another example:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/


To have the changes take effect copy and paste:

killall SystemUIServer

screensnaps folder
