We continue to take a look at how simple, everyday tasks differ between Windows and mac OS.

Editorial note: Sorry for the re-upload. The initial video contained a pretty big error, so I took the video down in order to make corrections.

you just taught me as a Mac user how to delete files...

[jeoxs]

so, basically you always need an additional key press on Mac

[halguy]

why is the file path hidden on macOS untill you manually bring it up? are they so obsessed with making the interface look minimalist that they actually hide useful features?

[lajawi.]

Windows Key + R and paste the path in there is easier/faster for the last!!

[laurenzvien]

These are simple things that I find difficult doing in Mac.

The trickery on OSX is cool and something I could get used to, but Windows Explorer's browser-like layout is hard to beat.

[gilangsinawang]

Meanwhile me only knowing dragging files to the trash on Mac

[ashluvvsz]

i’m a lifetime windows user but have to use mac at work..mac makes simple tasks way more complicated

[balu]

The options coming after "Shift + right click" are really useful. Seen it just now.

« Delete the file permanently » is an FBI approved statement

just as i was about to get my first Mac, I found this gem

[svos]

sudo rm -rf
pwd
CD
Also works on POSIX complient oses :)

[devonlee]

On Mac, you can just hit cmd+opt+C to copy the selected file or folder as a path name. No right click necessary.

[MrCrackbear]

you can also use the address bar to run a command in the directory you're currently in, for example typing cmd into the address bar and hitting enter will open command prompt in whatever directory you're in

[sukaruta]

on windows i prefer to open directories using win + r, pasting the directory then pressing enter

[Jonas-ejid]

Moral of the story:
They're both do things slightly differently and it's all about getting used to it.

[mallew]

Wow this is amazing for someone like me who’s going from Windows to macOS. Thanks so much!

[airpeguiV]

I like both. The problem when switching to mac is that these commands are not intuitive/nobody tells you about them so you just get confused

[mdptyo]

As mac user... I don't know all of that tips until now 😂

[Mainyehc]

On the Mac you can actually click and drag *nearly everything*, including proxy icons, to Open and Save dialog boxes as a quicker way to copy a path.
