How to Turn on Stacks in Dock Mac
The Mac operating system comes equipped with many innovative functions. However, many people are often not aware of the full capabilities of their Macs. One useful function included in the Mac OS X is what is known as stacks. These are a group of files placed in a folder on your computer's dock. However, what makes a stack unique is that the contents of the folder can be viewed by clicking the stack. The stack then displays, allowing you to see the folder's contents without opening a new window.
