Copy Path
The Copy Path command copies the full file system path of the selected files or folders to the clipboard. This is useful when you need to paste a path into a command prompt, script, email, or any other application.
Copy Path Formats
Right-click and open the Copy Path submenu to choose from four formats:
- Full Path — copies the complete file path (e.g.,
C:\Photos\vacation.jpg) - Filename Only — copies just the filename (e.g.,
vacation.jpg) - Folder Only — copies the containing folder path (e.g.,
C:\Photos) - Quoted Path — copies the full path wrapped in quotes (e.g.,
"C:\Photos\vacation.jpg")
Tip: When multiple files are selected, each path is copied on a separate line. Quoted Path is especially useful for command-line scripts.
Example
You need to reference a configuration file in a support email. Right-click the file, choose Copy Path, and paste C:\Program Files\MyApp\config.xml directly into your message.
