Why are some of my folders invisible in File Explorer in Windows?

At least one of my folders does not  appear when I look for it via an application although the File Explorer reveals it. What shall I do? Thank you!

    If it shows via Explorer but NOT the application there are a few things that means.... how long is the directory the file is in right from C:\?

    Are you looking at the same directory exactly (i.e. its not been moved by Dropbox and is now in a different place to where you expect it?)
