File Management

In Mac OS, you use the Finder to organize and manage your files. You can:

• Rename items.

• Create folders to store related items.

• Move items stored on disk to organize them so they’re easy to find and back up.

• Copy items to other disks to back them up or share them with others.

• Delete items you no longer need.
