Downloads folder is not visible in the folder

My Downloads folder is in my file of departure, but for some reason any does not appear when I open my file in the finder. I can access via a sidebar of the finder and its path is presented under MacBook Pro/Users / [username] / downloads, but it just does not appear if I open my home folder. It does not show in an "Open" dialog box

"Get Info" does not seem to have an option to make the folder visible or invisible.

I have a MacBook pro running OS 10.11.3

Can anyone help with this please?

Applications-> utilities-> Terminal

/ bin/ls - dleO @ ~/Downloads

You should see something like this:

drwx-@ 408 [my username] staff - 13872 Mar 18 15:34 /Users/ [username] / downloads

com.apple.FinderInfo 32

0: Group: everyone deny delete

1: user: legacy _spotlight allow list, search, readattr, readextattr, readsecurity, indicators file_inherit, directory_inherit

If where I got a - 'staff' with 13872, if you see 'hidden', then that's the problem.

If your download folder is marked 'hidden', then use the following command

/ usr/bin/chflags nohidden ~/Downloads

If the download is not marked 'hidden', please let us know this watch that your/bin/ls
