I can move them around here on the Desktop and that doesn't change this either. So, for instance, if I move the files around here in the Finder window it doesn't change where they are positioned here on the Desktop. They also have separate arrangements here. But on the Desktop I only see them as icons. Of course in the Finder I could also look in List View, Column View, and Gallery View at those files. So I see the same icons here in the Finder as I do here. Seeing them on the Desktop instead of the Finder window is very similar to viewing them in Icon View. For instance, if I were to change the name of this file right here you could see it changes there. The other I'm seeing them sitting by themselves on the Desktop. One I'm looking at them here in a Finder window. I'm just looking at a list of those files in two different ways. It's important to realize that these are the same files. You can see them here right over my Desktop background in the upper right hand corner. However, what makes it different is that any files and folders in the Desktop Folder will also be shown on your Desktop. There's really nothing special about it when looking at it this way. You go into it you'll see files, maybe other folders as well just like with any other folder. Now the Desktop Folder is just a regular folder in here. You can see them across all of your Macs and even access them on your iPhone or iPad.
Most Mac users now have that turned On so both of those folders are in iCloud Drive. The setting for that is, of course, in System Preferences under your Apple ID, iCloud Drive Options, and if you have Documents & Desktop options turned on. If that's the case you go to iCloud Drive and you'll see Documents and Desktop there. However for other users neither of those folders will be here in your Home folder because you're using iCloud Drive. For some users you'll see a Documents folder and a Desktop folder. If we look in the Finder in your hard drive under Users and in your Home folder you'll see a variety of folders there. You can find it in one of two places depending upon your settings. So the Desktop Folder is basically the same as any other folder on your Mac. Now the Desktop Folder can be a little confusing for some users because you see the same files and folders that are in the Desktop Folder in two different places.
