How to hide my Dropbox.cache folder on my Mac.
Hello,
I am a Mac user and used the sequence Shift-Command-. (period) to make the ".dropbox.cache" folder visible. How do I reverse this so the ".dropbox.cache" folder becomes hidden again?
Hi Russman34, thanks for posting here!
Technically this has to do with your OS, and the commands there.
But after doing some online search on my end, it seems if you use the same Shift-Command-. (period) command, you should be able to hide the folder again.
Can you give it a go?
Thanks a bunch!

Megan,
Your suggestion to repeat the shift-command-. (period) does indeed hide the ".dropbox.cache" folder. A simple solution! Thanks very much for your help.

Thank you for your reply and for doing some research relating to my question. I am away from my Mac until Monday at which time I will try your suggestion and let you know the results.
