See the Path Using Finder’s Status Bar

Let’s start with the simplest and most visual way of viewing the current folder path: using Finder’s own Path Bar feature. Open a Finder window, and from the top menu bar, click the “View” button. In the menu that appears, click “Show Path Bar.”

Select Show Path Bar from Finder Menu

Instantly, you will see a new Path Bar at the bottom of every finder window. It will show you the system path to the current folder. You can double-click any folder listed in the bar to quickly jump to it.

Also, you can right-click any folder in the Path Bar to see a list of options. For example, if you want to copy the path for the selected folder, choose the “Copy (Folder) as Pathname” option.

You can then paste the folder path as text wherever you want (for instance, in a Terminal window or TextEdit).

You can also see the full path for any file or folder using the “Get Info” panel. Open Finder and locate the file or folder in question. Right-click the item and choose “Get Info” from the menu.

Click Get Info from Right-Click Menu

In the “Get Info” panel, locate the “General” section and look at the “Where” heading. This will give you the full path.
