About the program
Finder is part of the Mac OS operating system. As an analogue of Windows Explorer , it organizes and displays in various forms the files and folders located on the computer and any external media connected to it. You can also use Finder to search for and organize information.
History
Earlier versions of Finder were implemented in parallel for ProDOS and GS / OS operating systems on Apple II series computers and on Mac OS for Apple Macintosh . In turn, these versions of the Finder arose from the Lisa Desktop program, developed for the Apple Lisa computer.
