If you’re using the Mac Yosemite version or any version after, then you can use this method. First, click on your menu and click on “About this Mac”, Next click on “Storage” option in the toolbar.

Next click on “General” and choose your storage device in the “Show these items on the desktop” setting.

If your storage is running low, there’s a high chance that you haven’t been managing it properly, it could even be due to accumulated junk. To manage your storage, first go to your menu and click on “About this Mac”, Next click on “Storage”. Just at the right part of your screen, slightly above the analysis of your storage, click on “Manage”. It would lead you to a window that not only shows you what your apps, books, documents, iCloud drive, and others are consuming, it also shows you at the right part of the screen 4 ways to manage your storage. You can either choose to

  • Store in iCloud
  • Optimize Storage by removing movies and TV shows which you already watched
