Steam Screenshot Folder

Anything whatever we think is important or will be of use later. We try to keep it safe, mostly by clicking screenshots.

Such a screenshot taking process is way easier on mobile phones where we just need to swipe the screen vertically down with three fingers and the picture is in our gallery. But on PC it’s a little difficult. Clicking a screenshot is, well, easy as it just can be done by tapping over the F2 button which is the default key.
