All of your folder icons look like folders by default, but you can change that. You can use images from the web, your own photos, or a picture that you create. This is a great way to spot the folders you want at a glance, plus it’s more fun.
Maybe you want to use a family photo icon for your vacation picture folder. Or maybe you want to use your company’s logo as the icon for your work folder. Whatever the case may be, it’s easy to swap out those icons.
The Smart Folder feature in Finder on Mac is a handy way to automatically place items into a folder for you. This saves you time, reduces the risk of missing items, and helps you work more efficiently.
In this tutorial, we will go over how to create and use Smart Folders on your Mac in order to increase productivity.
The Finder on your Mac is the place to be as this extremely handy spot lets you access all of your stuff. So, making it work for you is key to its purpose.
The Finder Sidebar gives you a quick view of your folders, drives, and tags so that you can navigate easily. For this reason, customizing the Sidebar just makes sense. Put items there you often use, remove those you never use, and arrange the Sidebar to fit your needs.
Here’s how to customize the Finder Sidebar on your Mac.
Despite Apple’s attempts to step up its iOS wallpaper experience in recent years, with dynamic wallpapers, Live Photos, and motion, it still leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called MotionPicture by iOS developer Dev4i can help with this.
As you may have already inferred from the tweak’s name, MotionPicture lets you have moving wallpapers on your handset's Home screen and Lock screen. Furthermore, MotionPicture works with various file types, giving you the flexibility you deserve for a personalized experience.
Perhaps one of my favorite jailbreak tweaks of all time was Apex 2, an organization mod for your iPhone’s Home screen that permitted you to have nested app icons instead of folders.
Apex 2, was unfortunately never updated for iOS 11, and so iOS developer Muirey03 took things into his own hands. The result? A brand-new jailbreak tweak called Zenith is now available in Cydia.
With iOS 12's Shortcuts app, power users can easily automate repetitive tasks by chaining multiple actions together. Your shortcuts are managed and organized in the Shortcuts app, but displaying them to the user as a list via another shortcut is quite challenging. This is where Easy Folder comes into play. This awesome shortcut, create by Reddit user “e10withadot,” acts as a virtual folder to which you can add any number of shortcuts, then easily pick one to execute via a popup menu at run time.
One of the quickest ways to access your recently-opened files is to create a folder for them and pop it into your Dock. In this article, we will show you how to add a folder of recently opened files and apps to your Dock so you can get to your latest items with a click.
Do you have a hard time finding a folder on your Mac? Do you wish there was an easier way to access your data? A simple feature of macOS makes it simple to keep folders on top of your Desktop or Finder windows. Here's how to do it.
Folders are incredibly useful for managing cluttered Home screens, but their core design hasn’t changed much in some of the most recent iterations of iOS.
If you’re looking for a completely redesigned folder experience in iOS 11, then we encourage you to check out a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed CoolFolder by iOS developer 4nni3.
Keeping your iPhone’s Home screen organized is a cinch with folders. But if you’re looking for a bit more folder customization than Apple provides out of the box, then you might take an interest in a new free jailbreak tweak called PrimalFolder by iOS developer ichitaso.
Citing the tweak’s Cydia description, PrimalFolder was inspired mainly by TapTapFolder, a previous jailbreak tweak by iOS developer QusicS. That said, you can expect to see much of the same functionality with this launch.
Folders can be convenient for keeping your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen methodical, but Apple could have put more thought into the folder-closing experience; more specifically, the gesture used to exit an open folder.
Fortunately, the jailbreak community now offers the perfect solution. A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PinchToCloseFolders by iOS developer Maddox lets you close out of folders with a simple pinch gesture.
If you have a Mac in your household, chances are it's being shared between several family members. With every family member having his or her own account, each user can then operate the computer without messing up other users' files and settings.
In that kind of situation, users might, at some point, want to share files and documents with each other. This can be done either via a Shared folder, a Public folder available to each user, and a Drop Box folder that is specific to each user. (Not to be confused with cloud storage service Dropbox.)
In this post, you will learn the differences between a Shared folder, a Public folder, and the Drop Box folder. You will find out when and how to use each method to share files and documents between users of the same Mac.
