Ug, no. I've always hated how Apple refuses to put a "go up to parent folder" button in Finder. Every workaround I've tried just sucks. I don't want to right click the title at the top, I don't want to use list view, I want a simple button. Windows, by comparison, shows the whole path and lets you click on any point on it, and also provides the button. There's other issues I have with Finder, but this one alone leaves me wishing for Explorer almost every time I use it.


Two solutions:

1) Cmd + Up

2) View > Show Path Bar


I always enable Path and Status bar on all my macOS devices


If you don't mind hotkeys, I eventually discovered that cmd+up arrow will take you to the parent folder.
