Navigate to the "copy" option in the context menu of the file, or go to the Finder menu (Edit->Copy). Then hold down the option key. The menu option changes from copying the file to copying the path to the file. Then press enter, while still holding the option key.

Why not just press CMD+Option+C? This copies the file or folder as path.

Hi. OK, so I press command option c, but when? Once I've focused on the file, or after I've focused on copy in the context menu?
And I believe the poster asked to learn how he can add the file to his context menu. Does anyone know how to do that?
