@remiville Great suggestion! Having a native "Copy path" option in the file header or context menu on mobile would save a lot of manual copying, especially when navigating deep directory structures.

Until the mobile app adds a dedicated button for this, a quick workaround on Android is to tap the share/options menu on the file view and copy the file's web URL the file path is listed right at the end of the URL slug.
