Represented by the blue icon with the smiling face, the Finder is the home base for your Mac. You use it to organize and access almost everything on your Mac, including documents, images, movies, and any other files you have. To open a Finder window, click Mark up files on Mac.
Tip: You can add alternative image descriptions that can be read by VoiceOver using Markup in Preview or Quick Look.
Get there faster. The Go menu in the Finder menu bar is a quick way to get to folders and locations. Instead of using several clicks to navigate to the Utilities folder, choose Go > Utilities. You can also choose Go > Enclosing Folder to return to the top level of nested folders. If you know the path to a specific folder, choose Go > Go to Folder, then type the path. See Go directly to a specific folder.
