So, I want to add some files to a hidden directory, the only issue is I can’t see the directory.

Its a retroarch core that isn’t avalibke in-app

How do I force android to show hidden directories? (I don’t think root is an option)

It was a matter of wrong core, managed to install it in a public folder, will keep this here in case anyone wants this for future reference

    I mean private directories like app data.

    I tried the stock retroid one. Fossify and thunar on my PC, none worked

      Oh, stuff in Android folder?

      That’s been restricted since I think Android 11.
      You can still access it using a computer with MTP.

      Though there may be some better solution I don’t know of.

      I believe you need root to access those, plus a file manager that supports it (I use Mixplorer which does). Otherwise, as someone else suggested, you can access them from a computer over ADB or MTP.
