Bug description

I cannot make hidden folders on Nextcloud that begin with periods ("."). When I try to do it on the web interface, I get a notification saying "Could not create folder '.a'". On Android, if I try to create a hidden folder "Server not found" appears. (The server itself is fine). I am able to create hidden folders through my server's SSH (and then running occ files:scan) but Nextcloud does not play well with these. On web- Clicking the hidden folder sends be back to the root folder of my files. On Android- "The folder /.a/ does not exist anymore", yet refreshing makes it reappear. This issue creates problems in apps that depend on hidden folders for functionality. For example, Joplin needs a .resource folder to sync to Nextcloud but I get a 404 error when it tries to access it. When I use Memories on Nextcloud, I cannot archive photos because it needs a .archive folder.

Steps to reproduce

Create hidden folder that starts with a period.
Nextcloud comes up with an error saying that it is unable to create the directory because it "doesn't exist" (mentioned more specifically in the bug description)
Folder is never created

Expected behavior

Nextcloud should create the folder and not be treated as if it does not exist. Opening the folder should show the contents and other applications should be able to add files to those folders. My server should not show 404 errors when accessing these folders through other applications
