In a terminal,
ls -al
, lists the complete folder contents of the home folder. Among the folders, there are Downloads and Documents. Both have the exact same access rights set.
Now when I open the home folder in Finder. The Documents folder is missing. Why?
![Screenshot of the Home folder showing the Applications and Downloads folder but no Documents folder ][1]
The output of ls -al
for the home folder:
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 christian staff 96B Dec 19 14:17 Applications
drwx------@ 4 christian staff 128B Dec 21 09:57 Desktop
drwx------@ 8 christian staff 256B Dec 21 09:57 Documents
