Mac OS set some folders to invisible. If you need to access from UI, these folder invisibility must be set to no hidden.
I show you how easy to set the folder invisibility
In this scenario, I would like to show folder Volumes and it is hidden in UI.
To set the folder invisibility, you need to open Terminal and issue the following command:
#sudo chflags <hidden|nohidden> <FOLDER_PATH>
Steps to Set Folder Invisibility to Visible (no hidden)
- Open Terminal (Mac HDD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal)

Execute command and enter password if prompt
#sudo chflags nohidden ./Volumes

Volumes folder attribute changes from @ to +
- In UI, Volumes folder appears
