3How to Create a New Folder on a Mac.
Organization is critical if you want to be productive and save yourself the trouble of digging through dozens of files every time you need an important document. Creating specific folders for different projects or categories on your Mac computer makes it easy for you to organize your files and keep your desktop manageable.
