Method #1: Drag the Downloads folder from the Home Directory

This is the easier method of re-adding the Downloads folder to the Dock. Besides, it won’t change the existing customization.

Step #1. First off, launch Finder on your Mac.

Step #2. Now, click on the “Go” menu.

Step #3. Next, you need to select “Home.”

Step #4. Next up, find the “Downloads” folder in the Home directory. Then, you have to click and drag on Downloads and drop it into the Dock.

The Downloads folder will be back to the Dock. These steps can work for adding other files to the Mac dock as well.

Method #2: Reset Dock

You can bring the Downloads folder back to the Dock by resetting it. However, this method will remove the existing customization.

Step #1. Open Terminal on your Mac.

Step #2. Enter the following command syntax:

defaults delete com.apple.dock; killall Dock

Step #3. Now, press the Return key.

The Dock will now quit and relaunch with default icon choices.

That’s it!
