Go back to my question Mac / MacBook Air User profile for user: janicefromil janicefromil Author User level: Level 1 12 points Where is my 'Pictures' folder?

I imported pictures form my Cannon to my new MacBook Air for the 1st time. I went to Applications, Image Capture, and Import to Pictures. I can see my photos under All My Files in Finder, but I cannot find where the Pictures folder is located on my Mac. Help.

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Choose Home from the Finder’s Go menu, or click on any of the bottom three items in Favorites and press the Command and Up Arrow keys.

I don't know where to find Home in Finder, but this makes sense otherwise, thanks

Usual location is in your user folder. Double click on Mac HD > Users > your user name > Pictures folder should be there. You might also take a look at the Photos app.

Your Pictures folder should be in Finder/Home/Pictures. You can drag it to your Sidebar if you want to create an alias there.

It is your username folder, with an icon of a little house. Rysz gave you the path.
