Another point of confusion may arise when plugging in an external drive to your Mac, as you won't use My Computer to access its contents. Instead, look for the drive under Devices in the Finder window, or directly on the desktop. The sidebar offers shortcuts to areas of your Mac that you likely use the most. It's a helpful tool that can help you navigate to important folders quickly without opening a bunch of windows unnecessarily. Long-time users of Finder labels may be a bit put off by their disappearance with the introduction of OS X Mavericks, but their replacement, Finder tags, is more versatile and is an excellent addition for managing files and folders in Finder.
Organize similar files by applying a Finder tag. Once tagged, you can quickly view and work with the files that use the same tag. Finder tabs, ushered in with OS X Mavericks, are similar to tabs you see in most browsers, including Safari. Their purpose is to minimize screen clutter by gathering what used to be displayed in separate windows into a single Finder window with multiple tabs.
Each tab acts as a separate Finder window but without the clutter of having multiple windows open and scattered around your desktop. Spring-loaded folders make it easy to drag and drop files by automatically opening a folder when your cursor hovers above it. This makes dragging files to a new location within nested folders a breeze. Enable spring-loaded folders for the Finder in the Mac's System Preferences. The Finder Path Bar is a small pane located at the bottom of a Finder window.
It displays the current path to the file or folder shown in the Finder window. To turn it on, open any folder, click View and select Show Path Bar. After you do this once, you'll see the path to your file at the bottom of the folder you have open. The toolbar, a collection of buttons located at the top of every Finder window, is easy to customize. In addition to the Back, View, and Action buttons already present, you can add functions such as Eject, Burn, and Delete.
You can also choose how the toolbar looks by displaying icons, text, or icons and text. Finder views offer four ways of looking at the files and folders stored on your Mac. Working in one Finder view may not seem like a bad idea. You become adept at the ins and outs of using that view. When you have the Finder view set to Column display, the last column in a Finder window displays a preview of a selected file. When that file is an image file, you will see a thumbnail of the image.
It's convenient to see what an image looks like quickly. Select an image or file in Column view in Finder and press the space bar to open a larger version of the thumbnail image in a separate window, which can be enlarged further if needed without opening an application. Keeping track of all the documents on your Mac can be difficult.
