I have a ‘screenshots’ folder on my laptop. I would like my steam deck to send the screenshots that I take on it to that same folder, or have it synchronized somehow. What is the best or most intuitive way of accomplishing this?

syncthing
Holy cow.
I’ve used syncthing for years and think it’s great.
And I have the same problem as OP, where it’s a pain in one’s asshole to upload Steamdeck images without going into SteamOS and annoyingly plugging in a m+KB and spend a lot of time micromanaging the uploads.
At no point did I think to put thess two together! Great idea!
Syncthing works great for syncing the screenshots and also for autobackup of emulation save files.
Best to use this with an always-on NAS. This makes file transfer generally easier to and from the console globally.
For your m+KB issue, if you put the Steam Link app on your PC,it becomes and instant virtual KVM and works great for remote access and using it desktop mode too. Great for setting up emulation, custom posters in Steam, Lutris/non-Steam games.
I hope my tip has soothed the pain in your asshole…(title of my sex tape)
You are welcome ironically i don’t use it I use the NAS method mentioned below but if you want dead simple synchthing just works
And depending on the OS on the other end:
Windows - SyncTrayzor
Android - Syncthing-Fork
iOS - Möbius
Linux - Syncthing
Syncthing is just such a great sync tool. Best alternative to it is Resilio Sync. They each have their pros/cons.
