Sierra, where is User Library ?

After installing Sierra, I realised there's no anymore a User Library. What replace it ? or is it hidden ?

Comment on Sierra : the system seems to work ok, but Apple should had warned users that most of unnative app must be updated from their latest version for Capitan, and that's a **** of a job.

The user library has been hidden since Mavericks.


Invisible Users Folder


If you have updated to 10.9.3 you may have discovered that your /Users folder has disappeared from view. It’s unclear if this was intended as a safety precaution to prevent a thief from accessing your account or simply a bug introduced with this version. In any event, it seems the solution is easy:


1. Open iCloud preferences, scroll down to the Find My Mac entry and uncheck the box.

2. Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the following command line into the

Terminal window.


sudo chflags nohidden /Users


Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password. It will not be

echoed to the screen.


In some cases, you may need to restart the computer.


For Sierra activate the Finder and press COMMAND-j keys. You will see:


User uploaded file


Check the Show Library Folder box.
