This article shows how to use a keyboard shortcut to access the parent folder or any item or folder on macOS.
1. Go to the parent folder. (Command + Up Arrow)
In Finder, we can press Command + ↑ to access the parent folder of any item or folder.
1.1 For example, in Finder, this path /usr/local/Cellar/nginx
1.2 Press Command + ↑ together will access the parent folder /usr/local/Cellar/
2. Enclosing folder
In official terms, macOS called the parent folder as enclosing folder.
In Finder, select Go -> Enclosing folder to access the parent folder or enclosing folder. Review the shortcut of Enclosing folder, it is the same Command + ↑
3. Is there a left arrow icon for the parent folder?
In Finder, the left arrow access the folder you views previously, not the parent folder.
Great!
