Use cases

  • copy file path from windows explorer right-click menu
  • copy full path of a file or folder in various formats
  • add copy path option to windows context menu
  • quickly paste file paths into emails or documents
  • copy unix-style or short paths from explorer

When to choose

  • you frequently need file paths on Windows and want a right-click shortcut
  • you need paths in multiple formats (long, short, UNC, Unix)
  • you want a free, open-source Explorer add-on

When to avoid

  • you are not on Windows or use a different file manager
  • you need cross-platform path copying
  • you cannot install shell extensions on your machine
