Start filtering your files the smart way

Bring order to your Mac with the help of Smart Folders

-

You don’t want to spend too much time manually trawling your Mac’s storage for specific kinds of files. Also, although Hazel (on the next page) is great at automated organizati­on, you probably don’t want it peering at every folder on your Mac.

Smart Folders can therefore be a good halfway house. You can create custom rules and add Smart Folders to Finder’s sidebar for quick access. A little time setting up will reward you with groupings of documents (based on size, date created, file type, or other criteria), which are then only ever a click away.

 ??  ?? Use Smart Folders in Finder to reveal arbitrary files based on custom conditions and located anywhere on your Mac.
