Mac: Opening multiple Finder windows
Blog made with MacOS Sonoma
Did you know that it is possible to have multiple finder windows open at one time?
To open up an additional finder window, right click on finder and select “New Finder Window”, this will open up an additional Finder window for you to work with. You can do this as many times as you like to open up many Finder windows.
If you want to use 2 Finder windows side by side, then hold your mouse cursor over the green button and select “Tile Window to Left or Right of Screen”
Once you click on Tile Window, the second finder window will show up on the right hand side, click on this second window and this will maximise the 2 windows side by side. This is great if you need to compare files or need to have a clear visual when moving data from one window to another. I use this tip often to make working with data easier.
The 2 windows now show side by side…
Also this side by side view will work for any other application on a Mac. I often use this with Apple Music to make transferring music files easier.
