# Setting the Finder Sidebar Icon Specify a standard or custom symbol as a sidebar icon. ## Discussion To set the sidebar icon for your File Provider extension, set the key in the File Provider extension’s `Info.plist` file. The key takes the name of one of the SF Symbols. For the complete list of available symbols, see [SF Symbols 3](https://developer.apple.com/sf-symbols/). This image shows setting the sidebar icon to the `cloud.bolt.fill` symbol in the Plist editor.  Alternatively, you can open the `Info.plist` file as source code and edit the XML directly. ```plist CFBundleIcons CFBundlePrimaryIcon CFBundleSymbolName cloud.bolt.fill NSExtension NSExtensionFileProviderDocumentGroup group.com.examples.My-File-Provider-App NSExtensionFileProviderSupportsEnumeration NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.fileprovider-nonui NSExtensionPrincipalClass $(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).FileProviderExtension ``` To create a custom symbol for your app, see . To see a sample code project that uses a custom symbol, see [Synchronizing files using file provider extensions](/documentation/FileProvider/synchronizing-files-using-file-provider-extensions). --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
