Key notes
If you have ever used the Camera app on your PC, you probably wondered how to change the Windows Camera save location.
We have a great guide onWindows 10 Camera save locationthat will answer some of your questions.
If you aren’t pleased with the current save location, be sure to keep reading to learn how to change it.
What is the Camera Roll folder in Windows 10?
Camera Roll directory is the default directory for all images created by the Camera app. The location of this folder is the following:C:\Users\your_username\Pictures\Camera Roll
Now that you know the default location, let’s see how we can change it.
How can I change the Windows Camera save location?
1. Change the storage drive of Camera Roll
In our case, since we have two HDD partitions (system and data partitions), we can choose between one of them. If you make changes, the system will recreate the whole directory path in the alternative partition.
So, the original location will be mirrored to an alternative partition or external drive. Creating redundant folder tree in the process.
However, this only specifies the drive where you save the images, not the actual folder. It will still be the Camera Roll folder but on another drive.
2. Change the folder location of the camera photos from the Registry
In case you’re having problems, we also have a great guide on what to do ifCamera app is not working, so we encourage you to visit it.
Finally, if you have any issues with the procedure, give us a shout in the comments. We’ll be glad to provide additional information.
