When you've got loads of files — hundreds or even thousands isn't unusual after a couple of years using the same Mac — it can be difficult to get the correct file path. We attempt to solve this problem in this article for those tired of looking for files and file paths on a Mac.

After trying Spotlight Searches or browsing through files, you might be ready to give up. At times, not knowing the right name can cause software conflicts. But don't despair. There is always a way to locate a file path.

How to get a file path on a Mac?

To get a basic understanding of where your file is located, just right-click the file.

1. Right-click the file.
2. Click Get Info.
   

Look up what's written under Where:

The selected area shows the enclosed folder of your document.

How to copy the file path

How To Find Downloads On Mac 10.15.2

Copying any text from the previous window isn't easy, obviously. But still, you need a complete file address that you can copy and paste anywhere. So you do one extra step:

1. Click on Finder
2. Click View in the upper bar
3. Click Show Path Bar

Interestingly, the file path will immediately appear underneath the Finder window.

• Now, Control + Click the file you want the location for
• Hold the Option key
  

You will see the new command that has appeared in the context menu — Copy …. as Pathname

• Click on the selected command
  

You are now ready to paste. This information is pasted into the Clipboard. Make sure to complete pasting/moving it elsewhere, or this will be lost and you will need to find the folder again.

And that is how to get folder path in Mac. Nice and simple.

How to find the file path using Terminal

Also known as a folder path, or directory path, they aren't always easy to find. When every other method has failed, turn to Terminal as your solution.

1. Go to Applications > Utilities.
2. Launch Terminal.
3. Make sure you are using it as a Super User (which means being logged in as an Admin), so type in sudo su — then press Return.
4. Now you need to have something of an idea of what this file might be called, so once you do, type in the following (the name in the middle is where you'd put a file name): find / -name randomfilename
5. Give it time to process the query, which could take several minutes.
6. A list of names should appear, some or many of which you can ignore as they will be followed by file-end names, such as 'operation not permitted'; so focus on the ones that make the most sense, such as: /Library/Application Support/randomfilename/settings/
7. Now copy and paste the full name and drop it into Finder or Spotlight Search.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file onto the Terminal window, and it will show the full path. Hopefully, this will bring you to the file you need.

2. Next, press down the Command + Shift + Period keys, which should toggle to show hidden files in that folder.

How To Check Download On Mac

It isn't always easy to know where you've put every file on your Mac.

After a couple of years of constant use, a Mac can start to resemble a cluttered old-school file cabinet. Files in places that once make sense, but are now in the wrong place. Files and folders that should be in the right place, but have been put somewhere else. Files that seemingly don't exist, or are floating around elsewhere.

One solution to this is to download CleanMyMac X. It's a handy and easy-to-use Mac performance improvement app. It comes with a few tools for finding unlisted, hidden, and large old files that have slipped through the cracks. Here is how you use it:

1. Download CleanMyMac X (download a free edition here).
2. Click on Space Lens.

These blue bubbles represent all your documents in relation to their size. You can dive into each of these folders to reveal their contents — a more visual alternative to Finder.

You can also use the Large & Old files scanner (in the same app). Either or both features will highlight a few gigabytes worth of space you can free up, uncovering files that can easily slip through the cracks and become forgotten. By the way, CleanMyMac X is notarized by Apple, which means this app is malware-free and safe to use on your Mac.

For those with a lot of files, or Mac users badly in need of making more hard drive space, CleanMyMac X is an invaluable tool. We hope you found this article useful about how to locate and copy the file path details when searching for what you need.
