Your Mac computer comes with two productivity tools that let you quickly find and open the applications, files, and folders you use most often. One tool is the Favorites pane in Finder. The second tool is the Dock, a narrow panel at the edge of the screen that contains shortcut icons to these items. Here's how to add favorites on Mac using these two tools.

Finder helps you quickly find an app, file, folder, or webpage stored on your Mac and iCloud Drive. Finder has a sidebar with a section for Favorites, where you can add shortcuts to shorten the time it takes to find your most used folders, files, and apps. Here's how to add your favorites to Finder.

Click Finder in the Dock.

You will see a list of files. Find the application, file or folder you want to add in the list of files.
