How do I get the path of where a file is saved to show as a column in Sharepoint?

Question

If I want to find the location where a file is saved in sharepoint, I have to select the 3 dots to the right of the file name, select Details, and scroll to the very bottom of the side menu to see the path. Is there any way to add a column that will automatically show that path, similar to how you can see when the file was created or modified?

Answer 1

Here is a workaround, create a single line of text column and use following JSON codes to show file path.

Select the column -> Column settings -> Format the column -> Advanced mode -> Use codes.

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "='https://tenant.sharepoint.com'+[$FileRef]"
}
