Customize Your Finder Toolbar
You may be interested to know that you can add or remove buttons in the toolbar at the top of a Finder window.
With any Finder window open, click View>Customize Toolbar… or right-click (control-click) in the toolbar area and click Customize Toolbar…
You can then add and remove buttons and even rearrange buttons as you see fit. You can also show Icon and Text, Icon Only, or Text Only; and you can select Use small size to slightly decrease the size of the toolbar buttons.
And not to worry, if you change your toolbar any, you can simply “drag the default set into the toolbar” to put it back like it was.
