How to find the directory of a file-path from the file?

Can we see the full-directory-path clearly from the file? I can open this from here but I still can't get to the folder where it stored.

Not at a pc to test but you should be able to click open online. Then in the top area you can click back and I think it brings you into the folder in SharePoint where the document is.

You can technicallly use get link and the sharepoint tab and paste that and remove the file name off the end but that can be messy.

ChrisWebbTech That's all well and great IF told people where "get link" is, and what you mean by "sharepoint tab".

With this information it defeats the purpose of the post. Unless someone in the world knows what you're referring to.

    This was years ago before they updated the UI. The get link was in the old screenshot and SharePoint tab is the SharePoint tab in Teams.

    Anyway, current way is just click the ... menu by a file then "Copy Link" , make sure the permission option "the option under the link" is set to "People with existing access". This will give you the raw URL link to a file. Otherwise you can use other permission options to get generated links for access based on selection.
