It has 4 ways to view documents and/or files:

• Icon – Each directory or file will appear as an icon.
• List – Each directory or file will appear in a List..
• Columns – Each directory or file will appear in Columns (as shown in the example).
• Gallery – Each directory or file will appear as a mini photo gallery.

Here’s how to change the view:

1. Click on the icon that’s shown in the photo above (above RED Arrow).
2. A list comes down with the 4 options described above.
3. Choose an option.
4. That’s it.

This will work in the newest version of MacOS.
