Oh, theFinder.
We can’t fix the Finder for you: no one can but Apple.
We’re betting that doesn’t happen any time soon.
Let’s get started.

You’ll see the complete path to your current folder, in a dropdown menu.
Click any of these options to jump to a given folder.
Click “View” in the menu bar, then click “View Path Bar.”
you might double-click any folder here to instantly jump to it.
This is very useful, but there’s one downside: it’s wasting vertical space.
To do this, launch the Terminal, which you’ll find in Applications > Utilities.
These options all gives you the same thing, so just find one that works for you!
There’s Icons, which arranges everything in the folder as a grid of icons.
There’s list, which shows the current folder in a simple list alongside the files' properties.
Well, you canassign particular views to individual foldersrelatively simply.
Just like that you cansee all the hidden files on your Mac.
If there are any icons there you don’t use regularly, remove them.
If there are any folders you use frequently, add them.
To remove icons, head to Finder > Preferences in the menu bar, then tap the Sidebar tab.
From here you’re able to also re-add any default icons you’ve previously removed.
Adding custom icons is simpler: just drag the folder to the sidebar and you’re done.
