On macOS, the Finder is the default file manager. The Finder is a GUI that organizes files and directories on a disk. It may be used to create, move, copy, and delete files and folders, as well as determine file type, locate files by name, and organize files into folders.
Follow these instructions to launch the Finder on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.13 or later:
1) Launch the rocket
2) Click the icon for the Finder
3) Click “Finder” in the window’s upper-left corner.
Starting, Opening, and Closing Finder
You may also open it by hitting Command + Shift + G, which will bring up a dialog box in which you can input “Finder” and press Enter to launch it.
If Finder is not already open and you need to locate a file, you can open it by clicking its icon on the Dock.
You may also hit Command + Shift + A on your keyboard to display all accessible apps, allowing you to select Finder from the list.
Searching for Files on a Mac

3) Click “Terminal” twice to launch the terminal window. Enter “location -name ‘finder.app'” and hit the Enter key:
4) This will display all of your files, including those in Finder; however, you may need to click on “Applications” and then double-click on “Finder” to view only those in Finder.
Macbook Copying & Deleting Files
To copy a file, launch the Finder. Then, locate the file you wish to copy by using the search box or clicking “This Mac” on the sidebar. Then, click and drag the mouse over the file you wish to copy, and release the mouse button until a small green plus sign appears next to the file. This will generate a new folder with the specified name into which you may place the copied files. Open Finder and pick “This Mac” from the sidebar to delete files from your Mac. Click on any file you wish to remove in Finder, or use CTRL+A if you wish to delete them all at once. Press Delete or CTRL+Delete on your keyboard to conclude.
iCloud Photos
The iCloud Photo Library function keeps all photographs and videos in a centralized location. This means that you may access your photographs and videos on iCloud.com as well as on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
The iCloud Photos application is included into macOS High Sierra. It is also accessible as a standalone application for iOS devices running iOS 11 or later.
Cloud Storage
iCloud Drive is a storage system that enables cloud-based file storage. This service is comparable to Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite were the first operating systems to include iCloud Drive.
The iCloud Drive may be accessed through the Finder on both Macs and Windows computers. It is also accessible via the Settings app in iOS 8 and later and System Preferences on Macs running OS X Yosemite or later.
