Databricks DBFS File Browser not showing some DBFS root locations

I have a fresh Azure Databricks instance that I'm doing some experimenting on. Per the Databricks documentation, I activated the DBFS File Browser in the Admin Console.

However, when browsing the DBFS root location, only FileStore, mnt and user folders are showing (see below). Reading this Databricks doc, I expected to also see databricks-datasets, databricks-results and databricks/init, but these are not showing in the GUI.

However, I am able to access e.g. databricks-datasets programatically through a notebook command:

access databricks-datasets

Does anyone know what is going on here? At first I thought it may be different since it's an instance of Azure Databricks, but the Azure Databricks documentation is exactly the same and suggests I should be able to see the same root folders.

Why can I not see some DBFS root folders in the DBFS File Browser GUI, even though I can programatically access them?

I have the same issue. There is no folder/file appearing in the UI of Databricks at the following location: dbfs/FileStore/ even after I do an upload. But it does appear in the notebook when I run dbutils.fs.ls("/FileStore/").

However, the folders and files can be found in the UI at the following location: /FileStore/
