Screenshots Folder Location ?
I..am having dificulties in finding the NMS screenshots folder. Is not in My Documents and neither in C~PROGRA~STEAM .

So , where's your screenshots folder?

Mine is

D:\Steam\userdata\9688216\760\remote\275850\screenshots

Yours will be similar.

Nope! Folder is empty after here *Steam\userdata\9688216\760\remote\275850\

In 275850 folder, I just have this file "remotecache.vdf" , no screenshots folder.

Any other ideas?

I think you need to have the Steam overlay enabled for NMS for screenshots to work properly even using the in-game camera.

Seriously ? I am talking about in-game camera, where you use the Photo Mode , then press Left Click and , theoretically , it makes a photo. If I have to enable Steam Overlay to use the in-game Photo Mode option, then that's sucks.

I didn't really understood what you were saying, but if I have to guess, you are talking about right clicking on No Man's Sky in Steam and I should see the "screenshots" option? If yes, then I don't have that option.

So this is pretty much weird. It seems the in-game Photo Mode is not saving the screenshots to my hard disk.

so there are ''Steam - View - Friends and etc in left above right? click to View then find Screenshots there and click it. Choose the no mans sky and click to one screenshot. Click to '' Show folder location '' sth like this.

I do not have No Man's Sky there, because I did not made the screens with Steam F12 option. I am strictly talking about the in-game option ( Photo Mode ) .

photo mode and F12 goes to the same place

and its by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\*random numbers*\760\remote\275850\screenshots

I do not have "screenshots" folder there, but I assume is because I don't have Overlay in Steam enable. I just enabled it and I will see if it works now.
