Until the One UI 5.0, there’s no way to customize the folder of saved screenshots. Though, a bit late, Samsung officially brought the ability to change the folder where screenshots and screen recordings are saved, thanks to the new One UI 5.1 update.

Samsung’s One UI saves screenshots and screen recordings in the DCIM folder by default. Most users wanted the ability to customize the screenshots storage folder, and the new One UI 5.1 update makes it possible on Galaxy devices. If you want to know how to change location, follow the steps given below:

Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook

  • Open the Apps Screen, visit System Settings, followed by Advanced features
  • Beside the Smart suggestions, you should see the Screenshots and screen recorder tab, tap on it
  • For Screenshots,
    • Tap the “Save screenshots in” option
  • For the Screen recorder,
    • Tap the “Screen recordings in” option

By changing the location, you can prevent the Google Photos app from backing up screenshots and screen recordings. This is quite useful as screenshots will no longer occupy the storage of Google Photos cloud storage. However, separating them also enhances access to the DCIM folder for important images.

One UI 5.1 is official

On Feb 15, Samsung officially introduced the One UI 5.1 software for older Galaxy devices. Apart from this, the company confirmed that the new software update is coming to several Galaxy devices in the coming weeks. You can check the roadmap here.
