How to see Hidden Files and Folders in Ubuntu File Browser

f1geek August 27, 2014 0

The Ubuntu file browser does not show hidden files and folders by default. Here is the look of file browser when browsing the root file system normally:

ubuntu, hidden files in ubuntu, file browser, hidden file in ubuntu

As seen all of the hidden/system folders are not seen. If you want to see hidden file just hit Ctrl+H at the screen, you will immediately see all the hidden files:

ubuntu, hidden files in ubuntu, file browser, hidden file in ubuntu

If you would prefer to make this be the default setting when using file browse then go to the Edit menu and select Preferences:

ubuntu, hidden files in ubuntu, file browser, hidden file in ubuntu

Check the “Show hidden and backup files” checkbox and now you will see the hidden files all of the time.
