Finder is not showing newly saved files
I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2017, running macOS Mojave v. 10.14.5 and have only recently encountered this problem, maybe within the past week and it is INCREDIBLY annoying. Whenever I save a file to my SSD, whether it be .jpg, .html, .pdf, or what have you, the newly saved file will not show up in Finder when i want to retrieve it. It will however show up in the Finder preview window when I'm in the middle of saving a new file. From there i am unable to access it (obviously), but it affirms that the file is saved and is there, just not appearing in Finder afterwards.
Please help!
