Apple - How do I get the full path for a file in finder?

You can also enter the following in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
then
killall Finder

This will display the full path in the titlebar.

path

to turn it back off change the -bool YES to NO

Or if you want to copy the text of the path you can drag the file into Terminal.


Command-C on the file to copy, and Command-V on the command line in Terminal. Or drag the file to the Terminal window


c while file is highlighted.

(option-command-c)

Easier than all of these by a long shot, IMO.
