How do I create a shortcut for this drive? I cannot move it, make an alias or anything. This is where ALL my working files are and I use it CONSTANTLY. I really need it to show up on the desktop. Anyone have an answer for me? Thanks.
iMac 27", macOS 10.15
If this is what you mean:
Finder, Preferences, General, enable: show HD on desktop
If this is what you mean:
Finder, Preferences, General, enable: show HD on desktop
Finder > Preferences > General > Hard Disks.
It will (or at least should does for me) show on the desktop with the name Macintosh HD.
Note the following from About the read-only system volume in macOS Catalina - Apple Support
Your files and data are stored in another volume named Macintosh HD - Data. In the Finder, both volumes appear as Macintosh HD.
I don’t see those options via the finder. I need to be able to access the Data drive 100% of the time and would prefer it on my desktop.
