how can show Library folder

Hello

I need to exclude some path from a backup software.

I can not select

Users/me/Library

Users/me/.dropbox

Because the folders are hidden.

And I can not write the path. I can only select a folder, which is, ... hidden.

Is there a shortcut to show a hidden folder, for selection?

Cheers

Hidden user library folder on backup drive I backed up my system using Carbon Copy Cloner and then did a fresh install. What I didn't do is unhide my user library before the backup. Now I need to access that folder on the backup drive but I can't figure out how or if it's even possible to do so. Any suggestions? I am trying to grab some preference files and that's it.
