How to change location of Mac screenshots in older macOS versions


The Default location of screenshots on Mac is desktop folder and it looks pretty scattered when we have multiple screenshots lying on the desktop. To make it look more organized and tidy we can change the location with following steps :
 In the following example we'll assume we are changing the location to Documents folder on Mac.
 we've created a desktop folder called exactly that, but you can change this process for different locations provided you know the file path.
  1. Click on the Finder to open a new Finder window and go to Documents folder.
  2. Create a new folder inside Documents folder. Name it Screenshots (or whatever you want to call it)
  3. Now open Terminal (press Command + Space and start typing Terminal until the icon appears) then click on that icon to open the app.
  4. In Terminal type the following:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location
    (There needs to be a space after location it won’t work without it)
  5. Now drag and drop your Screenshots folder on top of the Terminal window and it will automatically fill in the directory path.
Complete command - looks like this 
>>defaults write com.apple.screencapture location *path*

*path*  will be  substituted by new folder location created in step 2

Should we allow our staff to use social networking sites? Some people say they are dangerous but I can't see how. Can you explain the dangers? > EXPERT RESPONSE There's nothing wrong with using Facebook, other than the potential impact on working time, but that's not a security matter! The issue is in how your staff configures Facebook, and what information they place on it. A few tips to pass on to your staff: Don't allow anyone that isn't part of your network of 'friends' to see your profile. Don't allow non-friends to see your friends. Why? I could easily impersonate one of your friends, fake a new profile, and send you an invite.
