Saving Screenshots to OneDrive

There are many different ways to take screenshots in Windows natively without having a third-party program using the correct keyboard shortcut. Just to hit the Print Screen (PrtScn) key to take a full shot of the desktop. Or, if you want to take a shot of the current windows you’re in, use Alt+PrtScn. Note that both of these commands work for all versions of Windows and aren’t exclusive to Windows 10. Once you take a screenshot, you’ll get a notification that the shot was added to your OneDrive folder.

When you want to access your screenshots from OneDrive, you’ll find them in the Pictures > Screenshots folder and labeled with the date they were taken. If you want access to that folder from your local OneDrive folder, read: How to Select Which OneDrive Folders Sync in Windows 10.
