Get Started With Folder Automation in macOS Tahoe

,

macOS Tahoe adds the ability to automate folder actions using Shortcuts, letting users trigger workflows when files are added or changed in a specified folder. The setup involves creating a new automation in Shortcuts, selecting the folder and event to watch, and building a shortcut that receives change details. Users loop through added files, filtering or acting on them as needed, such as moving Markdown files elsewhere or converting images. Examples include revealing files, copying specific uploads, and managing downloads. The new feature is simple but powerful, saving time by automating routine file tasks once users become comfortable with Shortcuts basics.
