How To Drag & Drop Files On Mac
Timecodes:
hey everyone this is ryan here with
another tutorial
today i'm going to be showing you how to
drag and drop files on your mac so this
can be mac or macbook
any sort of recent mac this will work so
we're going gonna get started with
setting up the settings to be able to
drag and drop easily using your trackpad
so let's get started
all right so here i am on my home screen
all i'm gonna do is actually navigate to
my system preferences
because
mac doesn't automatically let you drag
and drop things easily so go to the left
hand corner
select system preferences
and it will take you to your systems
preferences kind of window here
now you can either navigate straight to
accessibility right here or if this
system preferences appears differently
you can type in the search bar
accessibility
there it is so once you press enter it
will take you to your accessibility
um which will allow you to kind of
change a few things on your mac so
from here you're going to scroll down so
select this kind of scrolling bar and
scroll all the way down to where it says
pointer control
now once you've selected pointer control
make sure that mouse and track pad are
selected
this should be automatic however
sometimes you know if you
adjusted some things in the alternate
control methods this will appear we want
to make sure it's selected to mouse and
trackpad
now these are some cool kind of ways to
see the double click speed spring
loading all that stuff but what we want
to go to is our trackpad options
and here where it says enable dragging
you're going to select that checkbox
from there just select the three finger
drag option
so that's our three finger drag option
right there now these other options are
also sometimes helpful but my personal
favorite is three finger drag and you'll
see why it's really easy to use your
trackpad with this feature
so select ok
and you can exit out of accessibility
and i will show you right now how to now
use that feature so if you're wanting to
drag and drop a file say for example
that's on your desktop
um to another folder what you're going
to do is open up finder so let's just
type in finder
and navigate to wherever you want to
drop that
file or folder or whatever it is that
you want to do so i'm going to have i
want to drop this picture right here
into my documents
so i'm going to select this once
and now using your trackpad on your mac
what you're going to do is use three
fingers
and without clicking or pressing down
just drag over
and let go
now as you can see here
that was really really easy so if you
want to do the same thing once again as
long as it's selected with one click you
should be able to just drag using three
fingers and drop it wherever you want
so that is how you use the drag and drop
feature
and files on mac don't forget to
subscribe and thanks for watching
