## How do I access my Documents/Downloads/Desktop folders in code-server on OSX?

Newer versions of macOS require permission through a non-UNIX mechanism for access to the Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Downloads, and other folders.

You may have to give Node "full disk access" since it doesn't implement any of the macOS permission request stuff natively.

1. Find where Node is installed on your machine

```console
➜ ~ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
```

1. Grant Node Full Disk Access:

Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy (horizontal) tab > Full Disk Access (vertical) tab > Click the 🔒 to unlock > Click + and select the Node binary you located.

See [#2794](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/2794) for context on this.
