How to View and Copy & Paste a File / Folder Path on a Mac

This video shows you how to view and copy and paste a file or folder path on a Mac.

there's a way faster shortcut of doing this instead of having to open up terminal:

All you need to do to copy any items path name directly to the clipboard from anywhere in the file system:

- Navigate to the file or folder you wish to copy the path for Right-click (or Control+Click, or a Two-Finger click on trackpads) on the file or folder in the Mac Finder

- While in the right-click menu, hold down the OPTION key to reveal the “Copy (item name) as Pathname” option, it replaces the standard Copy option Once selected, the file or folders path is now in the clipboard, ready to be pasted anywhere.

- The copied pathname is always the complete path.

You can get the same result with a keyboard shortcut of Command+Option+C.

What I can't find anywhere is:
how to use that pathname to paste into another finder window. Ex. when uploading a file to the internet in a pared down finder window that the browser opens, I'd like to quickly navigate to the place where my file is by just copy/pasting the pathname somewhere. Heyulp
