Document library not visible in Sharepoint but can be seen in mapped drive

Question

There is one folders named companyassets in the mapped network drive that I have created for a SharePoint 2013 website. when I try to edit/delete a file(companyassets/js/main.js) it gives error that the file is either checked out or locked. Also, I am unable to see the same document library in the SharePoint "Site Libraries and Lists"

Was the companyassets folder created using the "new folder" option in the file explorer, instead of being created as a document library through the browser interface? — Thriggle

It's normal. This is the default behavior. On first upload of file, this file is checked-out for edit. that means : only creator can view and edit document untill he check-in the document. (when user chekin, the document can be view by all user).

If you are administrator, there is a View that display all check-out document. And you can check-in document (in list settings)
