Hi guys,

I'm new on mac, trying to create a downloads shortcut on my desktop but couldn't find it. Yes, i can create a a folder desktop and direct the safari's downloads to that folder, but i want to drag the original downloads folder to desktop which also located in on the dock. Can you help me with this ? Thank you.
