All my file is missing from Finder

Using Mac OS high Sierra 10.13.3 the name is now " recents " in finder sidebar see this article Recents - Apple Support

Lets not bother with tygb, do you have a Mac with Sierra on it or know somebody that does, El Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks should work too if they have All My Files in the Finder sidebar. You can make a copy of the All My Folders search criteria and save it as a folder and then transfer it over to your High Sierra install.

Open a new Finder window in the Mac with El Capitan or Sierra etc, highlight All My Files now click on the Gear icon in your Toolbar, click on Search Criteria. On the right side of the dialogue you should see Save, click it, now choose a place to save the Smart Folder to, the Desktop would be a good idea. now you can then move that folder over to your Mac with High Sierra, you will also be able to add it to your Finder sidebar.

Right now I am using Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3

In previous versions like Mac OS Sierra and Mac OS X El - Capitan the recents folder was All my files , only name has been changed a slight difference is there I have answered for the op how to search the files , folders using search criteria in previous screen shots .

Only name has been changed to recents , in previous versions it was All my files , if I open finder , click on gear icon .

The results are .

Click on drop down arrow of Raw query and can choose the options as " other " and then select the options from upcoming window or click on kind - then again click on drop down arrow of the next field and choose pdf , documents etc and click on save button .

All My Files has been removed.

You wrote - You seem to be the only user on here that thinks it's just a name change.

Read this old article for Mac OS Sierra macOS Sierra: All My Files

You are unnecessary continuing the discussion , so please contact apple support and verify my answer .😝

For every answer I have not installed Mac OS Sierra or Mac OS X El Capitan or previous versions in present .

FWIW, "Recents" and what was "All My Files" are not the same thing.

No, it's not just a name change. But I don't have time to waste.

Same here time is important for me also .😁

I know what "All My Files" was and I know what "Recents" is. You are the only one that seems confused.

🙂 in fact newbies must gain knowledge from apple support sometimes also .

Find any Apple document that says "All we did was change the name of 'All My Files' to 'Recents'" and I'll be happy to agree with you and apologize. Good Luck.

No need to apologise , keep on computing appreciate your intelligence and keep on computing .

Thanks ! and best wishes !

I didn't apologize. I'm waiting for you to show it was only a name change as you stated.
