How to use File exchange

I have just downloaded a package from file exchange, and it is a folder with inside some functions and other folders. Where do I have to put that folder in order to use all the new functions for all my codes? (I use Mac)

It does not matter that you use a mac or not. Save the top level folder on your search path. So use pathtool or addpath. Then save the search path. Now those files are accessible to you.

NEVER put any folders named private on your search path. NEVER put folders that start with the character @ on your search path.

Instead of manually downloading the File Exchange submission try using the Add-On Explorer to have MATLAB automatically download and install it and make it available for use.
