Mac: View Hidden Files in Finder

How do I view the hidden files and folders in Finder?

Finder is the files explorer for the Mac OS.

This is what I learned and would like to share with you.

  • Open Terminal
You can find this by clicking Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

  • To see all hidden files, type the ff. in Terminal
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
  • That’s it! You’ll be able to see all your system files.
  • If you want to revert back to before.. See step # 5
  • To hide all system files, type the ff. in Terminal
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
