Files starting with a dot not shown through web application

A customer is complaining that Aspera on Cloud is listing all the files starting with a dot when it should be considered as an hidden file.

They have a hidden file per folder and they end up having to scroll down a lot of hidden files to find their folders. They don't want to show their end users those files to avoid mistakes.

It would be good to have a solution to hide all those files for all web applications.

    A global option to hide dot-files in the Files app settings seems like a good solution to this. Or per workspace at least.

    Yes, all of our users are confused by the hidden folders being visible. They should really be hidden like in every other operating system.

    Totally agree, this messes up quite a bit when browsing on a Mac

    This would be really helpful as this is a view that many of our users see and get confused by. Dot-files are commonly created by macOS, so they're in almost every directory.
