Or...

you could probably do what I did in 10.0.4, which is use Tinkertool to view invisible files, then Cmd-opt-drag the Volumes folder to the Dock. Before I did that I pasted a distinctive icon on the Volumes folder so it would be easier to find.

Butt...you still can't drag things *into* that folder and through the hierarchy to put them away.

Turly! Where are you?!

How deep is your Dock?
Authored by: Aguaman on Oct 15, '01 11:03:25PM

Even Finderpop had a limit to how deep you could dive into folders. No disrespect to Turly, but It really was a drag when I ran out after five folders deep -- both in Finderpop and Apple Menu Options. I used BeHierarchic to go as deep as you would want to in nestled folders, and was bummed to see that the five folder limit was STILL being imposed by Apple in OS X's Dock. Then, after much searching, I found piDock! It works great, allowing you to go as deep as you want. Check it out at <http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=11547&db=mac>

piDock has some nice eye candy as well, the nicest being some Aqua "bubbles" that lazily float up. I have positioned my OS X Dock on the right side of my display, then stretched piDock to go from top to bottom at the same thickness as the OS X Dock. This allows me to use both the OS X Dock (for bouncing app messages, app switching, and dropping files onto apps) and clicking on piDock beyond the OS X Dock for diving as deep as I want to go into folders. And those bubbles? As the OS X Dock sits on top of piDock, piDock's bubbles float up all the way behind the OS X Dock's translucent background, providing a cool animation to the Dock! Check out a my desktop at <http://homepage.mac.com/agua/.cv/agua/Public/Mac%20Stuff/George%27s%20Desktop%20Pic.jpg-binhex.hqx>

PLUS! piDock is faster than OS X's Dock... even X.1
