show hidden folders in the files app

Hi is it possible to show hidden folders in the files app?

I cannot find a way to view a folder starting with a period /fullstop "."

The iOS/iPadOS Files App does not expose the full iPad filesystem - and neither do third-party File Manager Apps. This is “feature” (restriction) of iOS/iPadOS.

As such, you’ll not be able to expose any system/hidden folders.
