I prefer to set up a Hazel rule for this for a few different reasons. If you want to change back to having screen shots land on your desktop, run the above commands again but change the location back to /Desktop Managing Screen Shots with Unclutter and Hazel Using Hazel to move screen shots means more control than changing the global setting in terminal Once you have set the location, you have to run the following command to reset the process that manages screen shots in macOS. defaults write location ~/Dropbox/Unclutter/Unlcutter files Obviously, you will change the file path to match where your Unclutter files are, or you can copy and paste if you have it setup with DropBox. Open a Terminal window and enter the following, then press enter.
The first option is to change the default location for screenshots via terminal. Changing the Default Screen Shot Folder in Terminal There are a couple of simple ways to do that. Once you know the file path for files in Unclutter, you need to make sure your screenshots are going to end up there automatically.
Set the storage location for your screen shots in the Unclutter preferences. Otherwise you can set it to a cloud storage location, which is especially handy if you work across more than one Mac, or you want to access your screenshots on iOS.

Unclutter a little different to Yoink or Dropshelf in that the shelf pulls down like a curtain from the top of the screen, but the concept is much the same. It helps me avoid dumping loads of junk on my desktop. I have used Unclutter for some time as a shelf for holding transit items. Unclutter is a unique take on a drag and drop shelf app that includes a scratch pad, and simple clipboard manager.
