[QUOTE="LJG, post: 1173015, member: 120269"] Possibly because sharing / permissions had become corrupted. For me, I have a server machine running Windows 8.1 and sharing all of the media files across the home network via network shared folders. I then have 4 client PC's running Windows 7 or Windows 10. One machine was only seeing some of the files in one network share. This drove me nuts for ages. Finally I fixed it by going into each file on the server that wasn't showing up and noticed that sharing with 'everyone' with 'read / write' permissions were missing from the hidden files. The parent folder had been shared with these permissions originally. I changed these settings and it fixed the problem. However, that doesn't explain why the files showed on 3 of the 4 windows machines, and why the permissions had changed from when I originally configured them. Maybe it is a 'feature' of Windows.
