How to Copy a File Path on Mac
With Supercharge
- Open the settings of Supercharge, click “Tweaks”, and click “Configure…” next to “Context menu items”.
- In the “Main Menu” tab, turn on “Copy Path”. You can also turn on “Copy Filename”, “Copy File URL”, and “Copy Markdown Link”.
- Right-click a file or folder in Finder, and choose “Copy Path”. To copy the path of the open folder, right-click an empty area of the window.
When you select many files, “Copy Paths” copies one path per line.
The right-click items cannot show in synced folders, like iCloud Drive and Dropbox, and also not in Desktop and Documents when they sync with iCloud. There, right-click the file, and choose “Services › Copy Path”.

Without an app
- Select the file or folder in Finder.
- Press OptionCommandC. Or right-click it, hold Option, and choose “Copy “name” as Pathname”, which replaces “Copy”.
You can also drag a file into a Terminal window to type its path. The built-in way works well when you remember the Option key. Supercharge shows the item every time, and adds other formats, like a file URL.
