Save Folder Contents List into a Text File

Easiest way to Create a List of Files & Folder Contents Into a Text File on a Mac is by first opening the folder in Terminal. Assuming you’ve setup this service it’s a lot easier than opening Terminal and then navigating to it.

Once that is done simply type the following into Terminal:

ls > somenameyoumakeup.txt

And of course hit Enter.

Boom! A text file in your folder on a Mac with a simple list of the folder’s contents.
