Copy full file and folder paths directly from Finder.
Copy as Path adds a Copy as Path command to Finder so you can copy complete file and folder paths directly to the clipboard. Select one or more items, choose Copy as Path, and paste wherever you need them. Optional double-quote wrapping is available in the settings app.
Minimum OS: macOS 12.0 (Apple silicon)
Compact macOS settings app with a Finder extension for copying file and folder paths. Requires macOS 12.0 or later on Apple silicon Macs. Everything runs locally on your Mac.
Enabling the Finder extension, copying paths, and adjusting formatting.
Copy as Path uses a Finder extension for the context menu command. The settings app shows whether the extension is enabled and includes Open Finder Extension Settings when you need to manage it.
Copied paths are normal POSIX paths. Multiple selected paths are written one per line. Paths are not percent-encoded, and symbolic links are not resolved. Optional double-quote wrapping can be turned on or off in the settings app.
When Wrap paths in double quotes is enabled, each copied path is wrapped in straight double quotes. The option is on by default. Your formatting preference is saved locally on your Mac and used the next time you choose Copy as Path in Finder.
Closing the Copy as Path settings window quits the main app. Once the Finder extension is enabled, it continues to work independently.
