Downloads folder disappeared from the dock

I've located my downloads folder inside the home folder -- now how do I get it to appear on the side bar of my Finder (I've made sure the "Downloads" box is checked in the settings for finder) and on the dock?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.6

Press Shift + CMD + G and type a tilde ~ character then press Return.


That will open Finder to your home folder. Drag and drop the Downloads folder to the right-side of the Dock. Right-click the folder on the Dock and choose Folder and if you want it as a grid, etc.
