        var nameScreenshot = "Screenshot_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-mm-yyyy-hh-mm-ss") + ".png";
        ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot(nameScreenshot);

Try this !

You could use the absolute file path easily by passing it as a string. In your case, using this statement should work just fine:

Application.CaptureScreenshot("C:/screenshots/filename");

Note that it will give you an error if screeshots folder does not exist. Hence, if you are uncertain of that, you could modify the code accordingly:

// File path
string folderPath = "C:/screenshots/";
string fileName = "filename";

// Create the folder beforehand if not exists
if(!System.IO.Directory.Exists(folderPath))
    System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(folderPath);

// Capture and store the screenshot
Application.CaptureScreenshot(folderPath + fileName);

Lastly, if you want to use a relative path instead of an absolute one, Unity provides dataPath and persistentDataPath variables to access the data folder path of the project. So, if you want to store the screenshots inside the data folder, you could change the folderPath above accordingly:

string folderPath = Application.dataPath + "/screenshots/";
