Hello there, I am having this issue with my 2.0 255gb exFAT system flash drive that I have transferred the data from my computer into that flash drive, and the data was successfully transferred but the thing is when I tried to check the data to see if everything's ok or not then I realized that I'm only able to see the folders of data but there are no files in it, it's very rare issue I haven't seen any problem like that anywhere I have tried almost everything, I am only able to see the main folders but no files and when I try to copy the folders then only folder copies and it shows blank. I don't know what to do now and if anyone can solve this issue of mine I would be very thankful.

Very good that you took the time and made the effort to confirm the data. Some people just "think positive" and have a nasty suprise later on.

exFAT - is a Mac computer involved?

Have you tried checking the flash drive via another computer?

What format is the source data stored in and what tool or utility (if any) did you use to transfer the data?

Work with just one folder and try again.

First verify all the configurations and settings. May be that some not so obvious setting that needed to be checked....

Second, consider reformating the flash drive to match the format of the source drive.
