Save screenshots to OneDrive automatically

If you have Microsoft OneDrive on your PC, and you capture a screenshot, you might be asked if you want to automatically save your screenshots to OneDrive.

  1. Open OneDrive settings (select the OneDrive cloud icon in your notification area, and then select the OneDrive Help and Settings icon then Settings.)

  2. Go to the Sync and back up tab.

  3. Select whether to save screenshots to OneDrive or not.

Note: Screenshots can't be more than 10 GB in size. Some kinds of content are also prohibited. For more info, check the code of conduct. For work-related screenshots, we recommend using OneDrive for work or school.

Screenshots will still be saved to your Clipboard as before, so you can immediately paste them. They'll also be saved to the "OneDrive/Pictures/Screenshots" folder on your PC and automatically uploaded to your online storage. You can get to the folder by using File Explorer, by going to the OneDrive website, or by using the OneDrive mobile apps.

Notes: 

  • If you want to take screenshots that you don't want uploaded immediately, temporarily turn off your network connection before you take screenshots and while you make any changes to them.

  • Screenshots may not save after macOS Monterey. Please check your screenshots folder.
