Since we will be using iCloud, make sure you have registered for an account and have Photo Stream set ON.

To set Photo Stream on your Mac, go to System Preference > iCloud and make sure Photo Stream is ‘checked’.

On your iOS, you can go to Settings > Photos and set Photo Stream to ‘ON’.

When your Photo Stream is active, iCloud will automatically sync all your files and photos. Since Photo Stream on your Mac is now on active mode, all saved screenshots and photos on your iOS device will sync automatically to your Mac in a hidden folder. To access these files, follow these simple steps;

1. Hover your mouse over Finder on the Dock, option-click and select ‘Go to Folder’.
   
2. In the search bar, look of ~/Library/ and hit ‘Go’.
   
3. When the hidden Library folder is open, navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets > sub then in the field, type ‘png’ and select ‘Portable Network Graphic Image’ from the popup.
   
4. Now hit the save button.
   
5. When a popup appear, name the folder as ‘Photo Stream’ or ‘screenshot’ or anything so you can remember. Leave the ‘Add To Sidebar’ option checked and click ‘Save’.
   

Now you already have a shortcut named ‘PhotoStream’ on your Finder sidebar, so whenever you take a photo or screenshot from your iOS device, you will see those saved items appear in this folder.

When it’s all set, you can easily make a screenshot and take photos with your iPad or iPhone, and access those images from your Mac right away!
