How do you make files unhidden on MacOs? – Computer Setup and System Configuration Forum

I have some files in a hidden folder that I want to share but when I try and ZIP them and transfer to my Dropbox for sharing they still seem to be hidden? How do I make them unhidden files? I don’t mean ‘how do I show hidden files’ which is all I get from Google along with a ton of advice re terminal stuff I do not understand. Is there a simple way to just change the file’s properties so it is a normal file again?
