Managing Your Files and Folders

Many people find the desktop a handy place to save files that they need to be able to access quickly. MacOS includes a powerful search feature called Spotlight that enables the people to quickly find the files and folders they need. The Finder enables the people to copy a file from one folder to another. When the destination folder is on the same drive as the source folder, the Finder moves the file to that folder. MacOS keeps a large amount of information about each file and folder. MacOS includes a set of default tags that the people can customize to better describe their projects. Compressing creates a compressed file in the widely used Zip format, often called a Zip file , that contains a copy of the files. MacOS provides a special folder called the Trash in which the people can place files and folders they intend to delete.
