\n\"Mac<\/p>\n

The macOS dock is a versatile tool that you can customize to your liking. It can also save you a trip<\/a> to the Finder. Here\u2019s how you can pin any folder or file and access it right from your Mac\u2019s dock.<\/p>\n

Open the Finder app<\/a> and visit the location of the folder or the file that you\u2019d like to add to your Mac\u2019s dock.<\/p>\n

To pin a folder that\u2019s in your \u201cFavorites\u201d list on the left, you can simply right-click it and select \u201cAdd to Dock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/p>\n

For files and folders not found in Favorites, single-click the file or the folder, then select the \u201cFile\u201d menu option found in the top-left corner of your screen.<\/p>\n

\"Visit<\/p>\n

Hold down the \u201cShift\u201d key on your keyboard to reveal an \u201cAdd to Dock\u201d option. Click that option and a shortcut for your file or folder will be created in the dock.<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can highlight the file or folder, then press the Ctrl+Cmd+Shift+T keyboard combination. You can also drag the file or the folder down to the right side of the dock.<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/p>\n

If you have appended a folder to the dock, there are a couple more adjustments you can make to it.<\/p>\n

By default, a folder appears as a stack of thumbnails of its files. To hide the content and switch to the standard folder icon, right-click the folder in the dock, and under \u201cDisplay As,\u201d choose \u201cFolder.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Change<\/p>\n

Similarly, when you click a folder from the dock, it opens up the list of files in a fan-like layout. To change that to a regular list or a grid, right-click the folder and select \u201cGrid\u201d or \u201cList\u201d from the \u201cView Content As\u201d menu.<\/p>\n

\"Change<\/p>\n

You also have the option to pick how the folder\u2019s files should be sorted in the dock. To do that, right-click the folder and tweak the \u201cSort By\u201d preference.<\/p>\n

\"Change<\/p>\n

For removing a file or a folder from the dock, right-click it and navigate to Options > Remove From Dock.<\/p>\n
