Question
Can you tell me how to create a short cut to a folder?
Answer
“Short Cuts” are called an “Alias” on a Mac. You can make one by using any of the techniques below:
- Select the original folder and hold down Command + Option and drag it to a new location. Then you can move it wherever you want.
- OR, you can highlight the folder and go to File –> Make Alias.
- OR you can highlight the file and click Command+L.
