# How do I use Favorite Folders on Mac?

On Scriptation for Mac, you can create shortcuts to any folder for quick access to files stored on your hard drive or in the cloud.

|| 📝 NOTE: Because the Mac file system works differently than on iPad and iPhone, Scriptation for Mac doesn't have an in-app **Connections** section for cloud storage. Instead, you add your cloud storage folders (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, etc.) as Favorite Folders for quick access, as described below.

| ✅ TIP: With Scriptation for Mac, files and folders aren't stored within the app — Scriptation accesses them from wherever they're already stored. For the full mental model, see [Where are my files stored? (Mac)](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/where-are-my-files-stored-mac-6342aa/).

### Creating a Favorite Folder

Favorite Folders can be created from the home screen by clicking **Add**.

| ✅ TIP: With a file open, Favorite Folders can be created by clicking the **File Browser** and then **Add**.

From the Mac File Finder window, navigate to your folder and click **Open**. Your selected folder is now alphabetically listed in the Favorite Folders list.

| ✅ TIP: If a Favorite Folder is renamed or deleted, the shortcut must be recreated.

### Cloud folders as Favorites

You can create shortcuts to cloud providers, just like on iOS.

After clicking **Add**, navigate to the appropriate cloud folder, and click **Open**.

|| 📝 NOTE: iCloud automatically has a folder in Finder with a dedicated **Scriptation** sub-folder. Only this "Scriptation" folder syncs to iOS devices. For Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, download their desktop apps first.

### Deleting a Favorite Folder shortcut

To remove a Favorite Folder shortcut (not the actual folder), click the **File Browser**.

Click the **⋯** icon next to the Favorite Folder, then click **Remove Shortcut**.
