How can I add a shortcut / icon to the toolbar or Dock to display recently accessed folders? This is available as a menu item in Finder -> Go -> Recent Items. I want to easily access this list on the Dock or via a toolbar Rather than have to scroll through a drop-down menu each time...
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
I see you are using macOS 10.13 (High Sierra). If you upgrade for more recent MacOS like Catalina or BigSur you will get this feature automatically. It is already at the sidebar in finder.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade your system, you still can achieve this by creating a smart folder with Finder.

Hi Again,
I spoke too soon, The smart folder solution can also work as a hack to become a "recent folders" section by specifying folders instead of files.
Muchas Gracias!

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I run Big Sur on my studio computer (I have a second Imac running High Sierra for some archival things) - The "Recents" item in the Finder sidebar is a a listing of recent items (files) not of recent folders - I'm trying to find a shortcut able to access folders that I have used recently, as I can do via the Finder's dropdown "Go" menu.
