Tip 14See What Folders You’ve Accessed Recently

Want to see a list of folders or places you’ve recently accessed in Finder? Just click and hold the back button at the top left of the Finder window. In the list that appears, you can click any of the folders to jump straight to that location.

You can also click and hold the forward button to select one of the folders or places later in your history—in other words, that you previously visited after visiting that folder! (Note: This also works in most web browsers, where clicking and holding back or forward will show a list of your most recently accessed websites.)
