Where is the Hololens picture folder on the device?
I am trying to take a texture captured from my Unity game and save it into the pictures folder of the Hololens, so I can access and download the picture from the device portal. Does anyone know where this folder is located? I have the Pictures permission enabled on my project permissions.
I am aware of the Mixed Reality Capture feature, but want to capture a picture rendered from a different camera in my scene.

There's a great article on accessing the Pictures folder at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/files/quickstart-managing-folders-in-the-music-pictures-and-videos-libraries

@ChimeraScorn Will I be able to use those APIs from a Unity application, though?
For manual saving of a photo, I found that I could save to "C:/Data/Users//Pictures/Camera Roll/", and as long as my Photos app was set to sync photos with my OneDrive, I could access them that way.
You should be able to do it. Just wrap it in #if WINDOWS_UWP.
See http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/windowsstore-scripts.html
@Pentose Oh awesome! Okay, I was completely dismissing working with Windows APIs throughout my application, but I'm really glad that there's a way to get it working. Thank you!
