The Mac Client Finder extension adds convenient options to the right-click context menu, allowing users to quickly share files, refresh content, lock items, and more directly from Finder. Additionally, it includes an icon overlay that displays the status of each file —such as synced, pending, or in cache— providing a quick visual indicator of file status.
If the context menu options are not visible, this means the Finder extension may need to be enabled. The steps to enable it can vary depending on the macOS version.
Follow the instructions below to enable the extension for macOS Sequoia, Ventura, Sonoma, or earlier versions like Big Sur and Monterey.
