    In Sierra or newer, you can temporarily view hidden files/folders in a finder window by pressing



    CMD + SHIFT + .



    And again later to turn it off.

    I do not see "application support" folder under users.  is it hidden.  I have tried to do command shift. but that did not work.  Is that clicking COMMAND button at same time as SHIFT button.  or do I need to do something else.  I really appreciate your help here!

    I found the file!!!!   all of this advice was extremely helpful.  The item that helped me the most is that when I was in my drive I held down Comand and Shift and then the period buttom.  this reveiled all the files in my external drive. thank you all so miuch!!!
