Creating folders on the Mac book

By rachel, 29 March, 2022

macOS and Mac Apps

Hello there. For the sake of trying to bring a bit of organisation to my Mac, is there a way to create my own folders and subfolders (in the same way you can with windows) and if so how is it done? All the playing around and triple checking resources i've acquired thus far has unfortunately not led me to any answers. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

The easiest way to do this…

By Tristan Bowen

The easiest way to do this is Command+Shift+n. Then you need to press backspace a few times to clear the name, then you can type your own name for the folder then pres enter to save it. To open it, navigate to the folder, and press Command+o. Then when you are inside the folder, you can do the same thing to create sub folders.

mkdir command

The other option is to run Terminal (found under Utilities, available with Command-Shift-U in Finder), and use the mkdir command.

Since Mac OS is a version of UNIX, you have all the usual commands available - ls, cd, mkdir, find, grep, etc.
