It’s convenient if we have current folder path shown in Finder just like we have in Windows. It is useful in many ways, it helps us jump to the parent folder or root folder quickly and efficiently. In Finder, the current path to a folder or file is not shown by default. In order to enable it, we just need to enable the following option –

  1. Open Finder. On top menu click View ❯ Click Show Path Bar. Alternatively, you can press Option, Command and P key together to do the same.
