Imagine that you’re working with a bunch of files, and you want to put a set of them in a new folder. You could stop what you’re doing, make a new folder, select all the files, and drag them into the folder, like an PC user. Or you could take advantage of a super-cool Finder command that Apple added way back in macOS 11 Big Sur. Simply select the files you want to put in a folder, Right-Click (Control-click) one of them, and choose New Folder with Selection (X Items) from the top of the contextual menu. A folder called “New Folder With Items” appears, with your selected files inside. Then just type the name of the new folder, and you are done! This feature may not be life-changing, but some people use it often.
