My file that I access using Microsoft 365 Web is stored in OneDrive. It keeps going back to be hidden even after I 'unhide' it.

    Hi,

    It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with a file in OneDrive that keeps reverting to a hidden state even after you unhide it.

    Did this problem only appear in specific file/folder?

    I suggest you check Folder Options:

    1. Open the OneDrive folder on your computer.
    2. Go to the "View" tab.
    3. Click on "Options" and then "Change folder and search options".
    4. Under the "View" tab, make sure "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is selected

    Just checking in to see if the information was helpful. Please let us know if you would like further assistance.
