Have you ever needed to copy and share the path of a file on your computer? Maybe you needed to provide it to a colleague or simply wanted to keep a record for future reference. Whatever the reason may be, copying the file path can save you time and effort. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to copy the path of a file effortlessly.

Step 1: Locate the File

The first step is to locate the file for which you want to copy the path. It could be located anywhere on your computer or even on an external storage device.

Step 2: Enable File Extensions

Before proceeding, ensure that you have file extensions enabled on your operating system. File extensions are the three or four-letter codes at the end of a file name (e.g., .txt, .docx, .jpg).

To enable file extensions on Windows:

  • Open the File Explorer by pressing Win + E.
  • Click on the View tab in the toolbar at the top.
  • Check the box labeled File name extensions in the Show/hide section.

To enable file extensions on macOS:

  • Click on the Finder icon in the dock.
  • Open the Finder menu and select Preferences.
  • Click on the Advanced tab.
  • Check the box labeled Show all filename extensions.

Step 3: Copy the File Path

Now that you have located your file and ensured that file extensions are visible, you can proceed to copy its path.

On Windows:

  • Right-click on the file for which you want to copy the path.
  • In the context menu that appears, hold down the Shift key and click on Copy as path.

On macOS:

  • Right-click (or Control-click) on the file for which you want to copy the path.
  • In the context menu that appears, hold down the Option key and click on Copy [file name] as Pathname.

Step 4: Paste and Use the File Path

Now that you have copied the file path, you can paste it wherever you need it. You can paste it into a document, an email, or even in a command prompt.

To paste the file path:

  • Open the application or location where you want to use the file path.
  • Right-click (or use the respective paste shortcut) and select Paste.

And that’s it! You have successfully copied and used the path of a file on your computer.

Copying file paths can be a valuable skill, particularly when sharing or troubleshooting files. By following these simple steps, you can quickly and easily copy file paths and streamline your workflow.

Remember to always exercise caution when sharing sensitive file paths, and only provide them to trusted individuals or when necessary.
