Sonoma download files are all hidden

When I download files in Sonoma, all files are hidden, I have to use command+shift+. to make those files unhidden, any idea about how to fix this issue? Every file(including regular image and google doc) downloaded is hidden, which makes no sense...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.0

What files?


all the same file type?


Download how?


Maybe you can say more?


Have you shut down and restarted more than once since the upgrade?

I just restarted my laptop and tried to download a google doc file as pdf and a png file. They could be downloaded but they are still hidden files.

this looks a bit suspect to me... what is this cloud reference?
