I updated to High Sierra but I couldn't find All My File on Finder's sidebar, There's no such icon in finder preference neither. I found this shortcut is very helpful but why Apple delete it?
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13)
I didn't even notice it was gone. Never found it useful.
You can create your own search folder.
With Finder Prefs set to start a search in current folder,
Select your Home folder and type cmd-F
In the criteria, Option-Click on the + button.
Delete the first criteria just leaving the Any of the following are true
Change the first item under Any to Kind is Document
Add additional criteria under Any and set Kind to whatever else you want .
Save it and have it shown in Sidebar.
I tried what you said but no matter what I did, my recent Office docs don't show. They don't show in the "Recents" either...only PDF and image files.
Translation in English, please
... thanks again Barney - but the search solution you provided has - for me anyway - made "recents" redundant.
I agree, the "All My Files" folder (or feature) was great. Used it all the time. I hope it was an oversight not to include in High Sierra and it will be restored in a future update soon.
Yes please restore it!!
How does a user let Apple know they'd like a feature (such as all my Files) restored?
Great suggestion; so simple to search file type! LOL on date.

I have several time machines that go way back
😝
Please bring back All my Files!!!
This is exactly my experience. All my files shows all of your most recent files from all your folders in the order you last modified or downloaded them. Recents does not do the same thing.
So how do you do this task of building your own files to replace All My Files? Assume I am a novice st this, because I am!

Read my previous posts above (the ones marked helpful). If you still have questions, ask for clarification.
Seems like you found the answer but where and what is this Gear Icon? Please to be clear! Sorry to be so stupid
Don’t worry I have worked this out now. Perfect fix! 😊 Thank you so much! Just furious with Apple that I’ve had to waste so much time on this when I used All my Files in the way you described.
When will they make Recents like All my Files?
