It uses a similar interface to Apple's <a href="/wiki/Safari_(web_browser)" title="Safari (web browser)">Safari browser</a>, where the user can click on a folder to move to it and move between locations using "back" and "forward" arrow buttons. Like Safari, the Finder uses tabs to allow the user to view multiple folders; these tabs can be pulled off the window to make them separate windows. There is a "favorites" sidebar of commonly used and important folders on the left of the Finder window. </p><p>The classic Mac OS Finder uses a spatial metaphor quite different from the more browser-like approach of the modern macOS Finder.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the classic Finder, opening a new folder opens the location in a new window: Finder windows are 'locked' so that they would only ever display the contents of one folder. It also allows extensive customization, with the user being able to give folders custom icons matching their content. This approach emphasizes the different locations of files within the operating system, but navigating to a folder nested inside multiple other folders fills the desktop with a large number of windows that the user may not wish to have open.<sup id="cite_ref-New_OS_X_headlines_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-New_OS_X_headlines-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These must then be closed individually.

The <a href="/wiki/Quick_Look" title="Quick Look">Quick Look</a> feature allows users to quickly examine documents and images in more detail from the finder by pressing the space bar without opening them in a separate application. The user can choose how to view files, with options such as large icons showing previews of files, a list with details such as date of last creation or modification, a Gallery View (replacing the previous <a href="/wiki/Cover_flow" class="mw-redirect" title="Cover flow">Cover flow</a> in <a href="/wiki/MacOS_Mojave" title="MacOS Mojave">macOS Mojave</a>), and a "<a href="/wiki/Miller_columns" title="Miller columns">column view</a>" influenced by macOS's direct ancestor <a href="/wiki/NeXTSTEP" title="NeXTSTEP">NeXTSTEP</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The modern Finder displays some aspects of the file system outside its windows. Mounted external volumes and <a href="/wiki/Disk_image" title="Disk image">disk image</a> files can be displayed on the desktop. There is a trash can on the <a href="/wiki/Dock_(macOS)" title="Dock (macOS)">Dock</a> in macOS, to which files can be dragged to mark them for deletion, and to which drives can be dragged for ejection.

He praised its <a href="/wiki/Spatial_file_manager" title="Spatial file manager">spatial file manager</a> as "probably a more complete definition of a PC-based universe than any" competitor, with users able to seamlessly use floppies, local and remote hard disks, and large and small file servers. Alsop said that even if Apple had stolen Xerox's technology for Finder, it was now very different. While criticizing the lack of a right mouse button and <a href="/wiki/MultiFinder" title="MultiFinder">MultiFinder</a>'s clumsiness, he concluded that "Apple remains the king of user interfaces.
