8 minute lesson

~~~

Finder is always running. Click its face icon in the Dock to open a window.

The sidebar gives quick access to your home folders, iCloud Drive, disks, and tags. Adding a folder to the sidebar creates a shortcut. It does not move the folder.

Switch between icon, list, column, and gallery views. List view is useful when you need to compare names, dates, kinds, or sizes.
