I enjoy saving my highlights, but I don't want them filling up the limited space on my C:\ drive, an SSD, especially when I have a nice big spinning drive for large documents. I also don't want to manually move each file over after a gaming session either. So how do I tell Overwatch where to save the highlights? I've already looked through the main settings as well as the highlight saving settings and haven't seen anything that could be what I'm looking for.

Update: As of update 1-13 in PTR, you can now export highlights.
With the above, players can now record any of their “Top 5” or “Recently Captured” highlights, exporting them as a video file to their gaming platform’s designated media library (on console) or directory (on PC). On PC, players will also have the option to select the quality at which these highlights are exported, supporting up to 4K at 60 FPS for Windows 8 or higher operating systems, and up to 1080p on Windows 7.
This is done by going to the highlights section and clicking the record option.

This post on the Overwatch forums has what you need, but to summarize:
Settings_v0.inifile, located in[user folder]\Documents\Overwatch\Settings[MovieExport.1]section.VideoPath = "<insert new path here>"and provide a path. For example:VideoPath = "C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop"In the future, it'll even display this path in the highlights screen.
