I apologize in advance for my 'newbie-ness' and if my questions are elementary.
After a period of frustration trying to enable the Hidden Files 'button' on my FIRE TV in ES FILES MANAGER with my Fire TV remote, I read this forum and learned that I would actually need to connect a keyboard to do so -- something that I could do through the USB port on the rear.
I am now wanting to enable the Hidden Files on my new FIRE TV STICK -- but, of course, cannot attach a keyboard as there is no USB port.
Is there another way to do this?
My goal is to copy my current configuration onto the FIRE TV STICK, something I do on the FIRE TV from an attached USB.
I have tried the 'restore' feature using jocala's adbfire tool, and while I can see that the restore file has been pushed over to the Fire TV and is inside of XBMC, I still boot to the brand new XBMC configuration I started with.
I figure that with the ability to open folders, I could find the FILE that was pushed over and use it as a replacement. But I cannot open any of the Folders without Hidden Files enabled on FILE MANAGER, and I just don't know how to do it.
Am I going about this all wrong on the Fire TV STICK?
I have looked but cannot find where this process has been addressed.
Thanks for any help that might be provided.

To see your photos via with the Fire TV Amazon Photos app, first add the free Amazon Photos app to your phone, tablet or computer, and then upload your photos to the app on those devices. In minutes, you’ll see them appear in your Fire TV Amazon Photos app. You can also set a Fire TV screensaver or play a slideshow of your photos. Have a large number of photos in usb drives, plugged into fire tv and cannot view them. Installed VLC and can view videos I've taken but not photos. The builtin photos only shows what's on amazon cloud and i'd prefer not storing them there. Would just like to be able to use a simple gallery/slide show viewer for the files on attached usb storage.
