Q: Mobile Home sync hides folders synced

Hi everyone!

 

Here's my setup:

- I've got a Mac mini with OS X 10.11.4 and Server 5.1 and a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.11.4.

- I've created Network account on the server, then I've configured it as a Mobile account on the MacBook Pro (without using a profil for Mobility settings).

- I'm using OpenDirectory.

 

I've done the setup as specified in official documentation and some others tutos.

The Users folder on the server is shared as Home directory via SMB and my home directory is on it. The Users folder is also shared via iOS Sharing to access it from my iPad and iPhone, and WebDAV to sync some folders on my iPad (with Documents app).

 

I can connect to Network Accounts from my Mac and I can create Mobile Accounts. That works well.

 

The Home Sync works as well.

 

But:  Every folders that contains subfolders or files, that created on my MacBook Pro, are hidden on the server after they're be synced.

When I connect to my home directory, I can't see this folders without configure the Finder to show hidden files.

 

That occurs only for folders which are on /home/Desktop, or /home/Documents, etc., and contains some files or subfolders.

But a file /home/Desktop/image.jpeg will not be hidden.

 

I've also tried with some other users accounts and on a client virtual machin (OS X 10.11.4), and I obtained the same issue.

I'd like to have that working because, I want to sync all my home folder on my server for two reasons:

-1st: to be able to access these files from my iPad, iPhone and some others devices if needed (like a cloud, but my own one) ; and sync some of them on my iPad with Documents app (by Readdle);

- 2nd: I plan to get an iMac in few months to have a better computer on my office, and I'll want to sync my home folders between this iMac and my MacBook Pro.

Thanks very much help!
