Not directly. You need to move the whole Saved Games folder under the user , not Saved Games\user. Select Saved Games in file Explorer. Right click, chose settings. Then you find a wizard for moving it. If you don't want to move Saved Games, but only Saved Games\DCS. You can but then you need to use symbolic/hard links.
Cheers!

Yes it is. Right click on the /users/savegame folder and then navigate to location and then move it to where you want. I.E. different dive etc. I have a dedicated M2 for DCS and the save games folder

You can also find various guides online to move Saved Games via other techniques such as the registry or various NTFS features - DO NOT USE THEM, they break things.

The way described by others above is the only way to move Saved Games without subtly breaking some windows internals.

My projects:

OpenKneeboard - VR and non-VR kneeboard with optional support for drawing tablets; get help
HTCC - Quest hand tracking for DCS; get help

If you need help with these projects, please use their 'get help' links above; I'm not able to track support requests on these forums.

Yes, it's possible, you need to learn about creating hardlinks or hardjunctions. For instance my saved games folder is on drive D and within the screenshot folder is on drive F.

Because i'm not a programmer or an expert i can't explain in detail but you need the console command mklink (with /j you create a junction). At the end it looks like 

mklink /j "C:\Users\Benutzer X\Saved Games\ScreenShots" "F:\DCS\ScreenShots". There are some threads about here in the forums, google and youtube are also helpful.

After fiddling around sometime i finally managed to get it to work.
