Is there any way to get the path of a folder in macOS? I can do Get Info on a file or folder but this gives the path of the containing folder not the target file or folder. Say I want to copy a full path into a file dialog; how can I do this?
In macOS holding the ALT key ⌥ often shows extra options in context menus.



To copy a file or folder's path in Finder.app:


Right-click the item
Hold alt ⌥ key down
Click Copy "item" as Pathname


Done. Now you have the path, as text, in your clipboard.
