I'm going to make sure I've checked off Add to Sidebar, which isn't checked by default. I'm going to hit the Save button and it's going to ask me to create a name. It probably includes everything that you need. This is going to include PDF's, images, Pages documents, Numbers documents, Text documents. The simplest thing I can think to do is just say that the Kind is Document. Then I'm going to hit the plus button here to add search criteria. If I search This Mac I'm going to end up with files in the System folder and everything. What I'm going to do is make sure I'm searching the right thing. I'm going to create a new Smart Folder here. Starting there with my Home folder I'm going to go and I can start a search, I can do a Command F for find, or I can do New Smart Folder. So I'm going to go to my Home folder here. How you would do that is first go to the area that you want to search. So you can create something that basically does the same thing. So if you liked All My Files how can you get it back? Well, you can create Smart Searches or Smart Folders for anything. Whereas with All My Files it would show up. The difference being that if you downloaded a file or saved it from an email attachment or even created something, like created a PDF from a Pages document, it wouldn't show up here in Recents because it was never opened. It's all the recent files that you've opened. A big difference between Recents and All My Files is Recents relies on you opening a file. But a lot of people did like All My Files. I don't really use the Recents item that replaced it either. Video Transcript: Before last year's macOS upgrade to High Sierra there used to be an item here on the sidebar called All My Files.
