Can it be assumed that is saving from a Web site/page? If so there's a setting in most browsers as to where to save, either change that or set it to Prompt as to where to save.

In the Save As dialog just navigate to where you want to go and click OK

The folder you highlighted seems to be a cloud storage folder.

Any folder can be named desktop. It is not necessarily the Desktop. Don't get confused.
