How to make an alias link to a Windows server folder

Drag to the Dock or Sidebar

  • You can drag the Folder to your dock (between the trash and the separator to the applications), or to the sidebar in Finder.

Create an Alias

You can also create an Alias:

  • Click the icon to select (highlight) it, and in the File Menu, choose "Make Alias".
  • Drag the folder holding down both the 'Option' and 'Command' keys together while you release the mouse button (a small arrow will appear in the lower left of the icon).

An Alias, like a Windows shortcut, is an icon that can be placed in any folder or on the desktop.
