Cannot see certain network directory on MacOS We have a Windows domain with a few Macs connected. They can see the network shares no problem but there are some directories where the name begins with a full stop. The Macs cannot see these for some reason.

Does anyone know why?
File/Directory names beginning with . are treated as hidden in macOS and are not displayed in Finder by default.

To view hidden items, invoke the Finder keyboard shortcut, ⌘ + Shift + .. This key combination toggles the display of hidden items in Finder, thus re-invoking it will hide the display of hidden items.

When using a Non-Apple/PC keyboard, the key equivalent to ⌘ is Window key. (This key is generally referred to as Meta key).
