| Jun 26 at 16:27 | comment | added | music2myear | @Ramhound, I am offering OP an alternative way of "hiding" folders on the Android while allowing them to be viewed over MTP connections. If OP does NOT use a .folder and instead uses a .nomedia file inside a regular folder, this may satisfy their needs. | |

@music2myear - Windows is already not showing the .private folder and the author cannot navigate to it within File Explorer so I don't see how using the ` .nomedia` folder will help especially if Windows cannot navigate to it.
