How I keep my Mac’s desktop neat by making screenshots zoom straight up to iCloud, almost like magic, it’s super easy.
First, just go to System Settings, then pick Desktop & Dock and choose iCloud Drive. when you take a screenshot, drag it into your iCloud Drive folder.
But you can also change the default screenshot location using Shift-Command-5, then set it to iCloud. You’ll love how tidy your desktop stays. For more info, check out Apple’s support page.
