In Finder, is there any difference between these two options when I right-click a file?
If not, why is the same action in right-click menu in duplicate?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
Go to system preferences ->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Services->Files and Folders.
There is an option "Reveal in Finder".
If you select "Restore defaults", this option will be enabled.
It's not dropbox-related.
Neither of those options are available in the Mac OS X Finder.
So which app is offering them to you? Have you installed add-ons to the Finder?
That said: the two commands are quite distinct. On brings you directly to the file, the other to the enclosing folder.
When you click on finder in front of all files right click on a document and if you either click on show enclosing folder or reveal in finder .
Both will show the data is stored in the I cloud drive .
The reason for duplication is when you open system preferences , click on I cloud the box I cloud drive is checked & when you , click on options you have checked the first box of Desktops & Documents folders , so what ever documents folders are inside the " All files " in the finder window will automatically merge in the I cloud drive ( as you have checked the box of optimize Mac Storage .
I have installed no add-ons.
These options show up when I right-click a file when it's not in the original location, e.g. in "All My Files".
They make exactly the same thing.
All My Files, Icon View this is what I have
Seems yours is related to Dropbox...
For me Reveal appears to use the app Path Finder to show the location of the file.
Well then turn that one off if you don't need it.
"Reveal in finder" vs "Show in enclosing folder"
