I want to keep a specific folder easily accessible in Finder. Is there a way to pin or add it to the Favorites sidebar?

Hi StormGlyph! Yes, you can easily add a folder to your Favorites sidebar in Finder:

  1. Locate the folder you want in Finder.
  2. Drag and drop the folder directly into the “Favorites” section of the sidebar.
  3. Alternatively, right-click on the folder > select “Add to Sidebar.”

If you’d like to organize or manage your sidebar items further, consider using third-party apps like Path Finder, which offer enhanced sidebar customization.

Hey @StormGlyph! Great question.

Yes, you can totally give your folder the VIP treatment. Just find the folder you want, then click and drag it right over to the Favorites section in the Finder sidebar.

Let go when you see a blue line appear, and voilà! Your folder is now a certified celebrity, ready for its close-up. It’s so easy, it almost feels like cheating
