MacOS – How to create a new group for items in the Sidebar in Finder

findermacossidebar

I have:

  • Favorites
  • Shared
  • Devices

I'd like to create something like:

  • Cloud Files

My Favorites is getting a little cluttered with shortcuts to a DropBox folder, a SkyDrive folder, a Google Drive folder, an IDrive folder, etc.

How can I create a new group for items in the Sidebar in Finder?

Best Answer

No. You can rearrange the order of the three you mentioned though - just click and drag to move them.

A possible workaround would be to create a new folder, say "Cloud files", and put it in the sidebar. You could then place aliases of your other folders into that one. This would help trim down the folders in your Favorites section, as well as keep the same quick access to them.
