How to display full file path in Wndows Explorer


There is a tutoral on this issue, but it doesn't solve the central problem, which is, where is the folder? I mean, which drive is it on?

The image shown in the tutoral gives the file path as beginning with "This PC". But WHERE on this PC?

My PC has several drives, and with Windows Explorer being increasingly dumbed down to support people who don't maintain logically arranged folder systems, life is becoming harder for the rest of us. I want to transfer individual files on Gladinet to Amazon AWS, where for cost reasons I store and share our company's 100 GB of data. But I can't transfer them if I don't know what drive they're on.

How to display the full path, including the drive?

Hi Matthew, welcome to windowssh blog.com!

Do you have a link to that tutorial?

This is my title bar:



EDIT:
'This PC' is the beginning of the hierarchy, a particular drive would be the next entry.

RE : Where is This PC ?


Yep sure: File Explorer Title Bar - Display Full Path in Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog

In reply to DavidHK, OK I see the folder "This PC", but I would still like to know what drive it is on, and generally I would like file paths to indicate drives.

The Full Path is shown in the Title Bar and/or Address Bar, not in the Navigation Pane.


Ah right. Silly me, I didn't notice that. Thanks so much!

RE : I would still like to know what drive it is on.

In my case, it is Acer (C: )

The Full Path is shown in the Title Bar and/or Address Bar, not in the Navigation Pane.

As you can see from these two print screens, windows is only showing the full path from certain folders Perhaps the locations where the full path is not displayed are some sort of virtual folder? I agree with Matthew Pollock and davidhk - this is annoying behavior.




This PC is a name, like Computer or My Computer. All drives derive from it, it is not on a drive nor does it reside on a drive.

This PC
