how to find all the files since a given date, both locally & in the cloud

How do i find the files on my Imac since say Feb 2nd 2021 ?

I have never really felt comfortable with finder.

Have a TM backup on this day and just want to check what if any files have been saved since both locally and in the cloud

Hi goslings,

To find files on your Mac that you have worked on/created since a certain time, you must use the Finder. That is the whole point of the Finder. Do not feel intimidated with the Finder. You cannot hurt anything unless you are looking for trouble.

Go to the Finder.
In the menu bar, select "Go" > "Computer".
Click the Search field and input a term.
Click the "+".
(You may have to click "Other"), but now, you can access filters like "Created date" and "Last opened date". You can then explore to narrow your search.

To check iCloud for a file, go to iCloud in the Finder, and verify the file is there.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jack
