Turn off open in tabs always or drag the new tab from the one window into an open space on the display.

Some downloads not appearing in finder The last week or so, many of my downloaded files are not showing up in finder. When I click on the "downloads" button at the screen, it does show the files that I downloaded, and when I click the arrow that says "more in finder", it takes me to finder, and I am not seeing all of the downloads. I want to organize the files that I just downloaded into folders on my desktop, but have no idea how to access them now. Please help!

Folders on Finder won't expand after hovering a dragged file on top of them. I'm trying to drag and drop files into a specific subfolder, but rather than automatically expanding after hovering with the file dragged over it, I have to physically drop on each folder. It's very time-consuming and annoying. Is there a setting or box I haven't checked?

How do I show folder sizes in Finder? In Finder, the Size column only displays the sizes of files. How do I display folder sizes as well? I know I can see it with Get Info, but I'd like it to be shown in this list.
