Answer to my own question. The only way I have found that works consistently and instantaneously is to:

1) Create a link in my "Favorites" to the directory I use

2) Update the properties on that favorite to be an absolute path (\\ads\IT-DEPT-DFS\Data\MAILROOM)

3) When saving a new file, I navigate to that directory only via the Favorites directory created above (or you can use any Shortcut with an absolute path)

4) After saving, go to the File tab and the full path can be copied from the top of the Info (default) section

Here's how to get the filepath of the file in Excel 2010.

1) Right click on the Ribbon.
2) Click on "Customize the Ribbon"
3) On the right hand side, click "New Group." This will add a new tab to the Ribbon. If you want to, click on the "Rename" button the right side and name your tab. For example, I named the tab "Doc Path." This step is optional
4) Under "Choose Commands From" on the left hand side, choose "Commands Not in the Ribbon."
5) Select "Document Location" and "Add" it to your newly created group.
6) The filepath should now appear under the newly created tab on the ribbon.
