My Creative Cloud folder in my fnder on my Mac is hidden. I can only see the folder when I give the command to 'Show hidden files' on Mac (Command + Shift + .).
All files in the folder are synced correctly and are accessible once I give the command to show hidden files, but it's very inconvenient. How can I 'Unhide' the Creative Cloud folder???

You could use the terminal command given below
chflags nohidden <path to your folder>

Hi Manan, The only reply I get in terminal is "No such file or directory".

Open a terminal, type sudo chflags nohidden, drag and drop the file into Terminal to add its file path, and hit enter. You’ll need to enter your password, but it’ll unhide the file or folder forever

This error generally means that you have typed the path incorrecrtly. Use the drag drop method that @kglad mentioned in his post. Also, be aware that when you are prompted for the password, you won't be shown anything geting typed on the screen it's a security feature so just keep typing and press enter when done.

I have tried the command in terminal with the correct path, but it doesn't change anything. I guess the only thing left is reinstalling the whole shebang. Thanks for your efforts @Manan Joshi and @kglad

I did everyting as you suggested, but the folder stays hidden. This is the message I get in Terminal:
"usage: chflags [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] flags file ..."

contact apple if you dragged the folder.
