Changing destination for screenshots on Mac
If you are on a Mac, you can easily decide where you want your screenshots - different folder or even different harddrive (provided it is mounted to your system, when you do the screenshot, of course)
Here is a link, which provides the recipe for pre-Mohave systems and newer.

Making Screenshots
One of the ideal things about MacOS are the many ways to do screenshots - whole page, partial page, single app window, even menus with mouse-highlights, and all either saved as a choice of image formats or to RAM for easy insert elsewhere like any other Copy.
Here is a tutorial for Monterey, which has a specific Screenshot tool, and you can even set a timer to do screenshots, while you are away from the keyboard!!

and a tutorial for older MacOS

Also, GRAB, an app in older MacOS, which not many know, also has a timer function!!
Free Screen Recording
Not many people are aware of this, but it is actually possible to use QuickTime player to record with or without sound - just the screen, an audio podcast or yourself talking to the camera.
