file-path-in-finder.md

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

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.
