Find the application Terminal.app, it is loacated in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. Open Terminal and type in the script:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

Hit enter to submit, then type:

killall Finder

Finder should now restart, you should now see invisible folders, to hide a folder add a “.” before the name, so the folder “my seceret stuff” becomes “.my seceret stuff”.

To access the folders go to finder and hit SHIFT + COMMAND (the apple key) + G, then type in the path of the hidden folder.
