Can someone give me an example of the variable needed to add the ~/Documents and ~/Downloads folders to a Dock payload?
I have tried file:///Users/$USER/Documents/ but this doesn't work.
+19No, unfortunately not. Didn’t have a lot of time to devote to this so I had to punt in favor of higher priorities. I need to circle back and revisit this eventually though. Please share if you have any suggestions.
+5This can be done using a Config Profile. There are specific checkboxes for "My Applications", "Documents", and "Network". In my testing "My Applications" seems to work and "Documents" instead places the user's Downloads folder.
I use the Config Profile method to place folders (Applications folder and a custom folder) in the Files side of the Dock since I can't get a Policy to work for folders (only apps).
