Hi. I am having trouble refreshing my network folder on Mac OS. Can anyone help me with this?
In windows i can just hit F5 and new files will show up in my network folder, but in Mac OS i don't see any options similar to F5. It only happens on network folder.
Thank You.
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
There isn't an option. It should just update as soon as it changes.
I think the only thing you can do if it doesn't update is to close it and re-open it.
This seems like a possible solution, but I'm not sure how slow it might be if there are lots of items in the window:
lion - Is there a way to refresh a Finder file listing? - Ask Different
Also note the comment about making it an Application.

Thank you for your reply Barney-15E. I tried to relaunch the finder, force quit the finder, nothing worked.
When I use my windows laptop, as soon as I hit the refresh button the files show up. I even tried restarting the computer. Noting worked. It couldn't refresh my "network folder".
Thanks
Any other alternatives?
Not that I'm aware of.
but doesn't work with Network Folder
By doesn't work do you mean it doesn't refresh anything, or do you get an error. I don't seem to have any problems running it on a network share folder, but then my network shares update real time.
Did you try the AppleScript?
I tried creating AppleScript, but doesn't work with Network Folder. Any other alternatives?
Thanks
