So, I want to add some files to a hidden directory, the only issue is I can’t see the directory.
Its a retroarch core that isn’t avalibke in-app
How do I force android to show hidden directories? (I don’t think root is an option)

Thank you.
Actually found a solution for what I needed without using this but this might help for future reference, rhx

You mean directories starting with a
.?Depends on the file manager, nothing to do with Android. Which file manager do you use?

I mean private directories like app data.
I tried the stock retroid one. Fossify and thunar on my PC, none worked

Oh, stuff in Android folder?
That’s been restricted since I think Android 11.
You can still access it using a computer with MTP.
Though there may be some better solution I don’t know of.

I believe you need root to access those, plus a file manager that supports it (I use Mixplorer which does). Otherwise, as someone else suggested, you can access them from a computer over ADB.
