No matter what operating systems you prefer for your use, all of you will agree on one point, that desktop of a computer is undoubtedly the most preferred location of saving files. You do not need to look for files from one drive to another. if the files are important and frequently used, then we prefer to keep them on the desktop. In the mean time, the desktop gets cluttered and unorganized. For macOS, Desktop Stacks organizes the desktop. Desktop Stacks are not new in Mojave, rather it made its first appearance with OS X Dock.
You can choose to have a group of items in the Dock appear as a Folder or as a Stack. The desktop implementation is new, however.) As the name implies, Stacks puts your desktop files into stacks. When you click on a stack, it expands to show the individual files. You can also scrub through a stack of files to find the one you need.
