Force kDrive to synchronize hidden files

This guide explains how to force the synchronization of hidden files from your operating system (macOS, Windows, etc.) using the kDrive application on your computer.

Introduction

Hidden files are system files that are not visible by default in Finder or File Explorer, on macOS and Windows, respectively. They are typically used to store important data for the operating system's operation or for specific applications.

To display hidden files on macOS, you can use the Terminal or an option in Finder. In Finder, hold down the "Command" key, then press "Shift" + "." to toggle the display of hidden files.

To display hidden files on Windows, you need to change the file display settings in File Explorer. You can do this by accessing folder options in Control Panel, selecting the "View" tab, and checking the option to display hidden files and folders.
