Show the path at the bottom of every Finder window

View > Show Path Bar. Double-click a folder in that bar to open it.

How to do it

  1. Click a Finder window so Finder is the front app.

  2. Choose View > Show Path Bar.

  3. Double-click any folder in the bar at the bottom to open it.

View > Show Status Bar is the separate switch that shows how many files are selected. Turn that on too if you drag files around a lot.
