Files and Folders with Dot-Prefixed Names Not Displayed in FileCloud

Original Question or Issue:

Environment:

Product - FileCloud Server
Version - Any
Platform - Any

Steps to Reproduce:

• Create a network share from a folder whose name starts with a dot (.), such as .SystemTest.
• Share the network folder with another user account.
• Browse to the share using the recipient account; the folder is not displayed, and the share appears empty.

Error or Log Message:

Defect or Enhancement Number:

Cause:

Dot-prefixed file names are not supported in network folders

Resolution or Workaround:

Visibility for dot-prefixed files and folders can be enabled by adding the following setting to cloudconfig.php:

define("TONIDOCLOUD_SHOW_FILES_STARTWITH_DOT", 1);

After the setting is added and the User Portal is refreshed, files and folders whose names start with a period become visible.
