    Hi KevBel,

    you could apply the following json formatting to your "Path" column

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


    You will get a view like this

    If you don't want the path to your document library to be displayed ("/sites/MyAppPage/CopyLib/" in my example), then use this json

    {
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "=replace([$FileRef],'/sites/MyAppPage/CopyLib/','')"
}

     This will look like this

     

    Best Regards,
    Sven

There is a built-in column called Path that shows the Path nicely formatted and every folder and subfolder is clickable. The Path is relative to the sharepoint site (web). All you need is to add this "Path" column to a view programmatically (PnP, Rest API), I have an example on m blog post: https://chuvash.eu/2023/show-path-column/
