That is what I have suspected. Unfortunately, I will not be able to
have access to his computer as he doesn't have a screen reader and is not really
tech savy. I have put the files in my Dropbox public folder and sent him a
link via email.

Did you wait for the files to finish transferring? If there was a lot of
them it would take a minute or 3. Clicking on the remove drive before the
files finished could result in the transfer being canceled.

I copied the files from my documents folder on my computer by selecting
the folder in My Documents, copying to the clip board, Alt Tab to the thumb

went to the System Tray and went to Safely Remove Device button, hit it and
arrowed down to the drive and hit Enter and waited until it said that it is
now safe to remove the drive.

Right,
but how did they get onto the thumb drive?
Was
it from a dropbox folder on a computer?

The files are from a
thumb drive. Actually, two thumb drives were tried, the second one
being brand new.

The other thing that
I was thinking, are these files being copied from dropbox? If so, sometimes
there is a dialog box that opens to ask you if you want to copy the files
without their properties. If you don’t know this is open it will copy the
folders but not the files. Just a suggestion. If you need any help,
reply
I
don't know if this is happening, but is it possible for Windows 10
Security to be putting these files in quarantine as soon as the flashdrive
is plugged in?
How
about if you zipped the folders up and sent them as an attachment in an
email?
Take care and
stay safe. Mike.

Are you using the
built-in security app so come on those little drives? If I was you I would
do a full format on the drive then copy the files. If it’s not the little
security app on the drive. I’ve never seen this before and I don’t know
what you can do.
I am using
Windows 7 and the latest JAWS on a desktop computer that I copied a folder
with 2 subfolders containing Word documents onto a flash drive. I
gave a friend this flash drive . the first sub folder has over 200
Word documents, some .doc and some .docx files and the second sub folder
had 11 Word documents in it. My friend has 2 laptops both running
Windows 10. He is not a JAWS user as he is sighted. When he
plugs this flash drive in to either of these computers, he can see the
folder and subfolders, but when he opens the subfolders, there are no
files in them. Can any one please tell me why? We first
thought that the flash drive was corrupt, so he gave me another drive to
try and the same thing happened. Both drives work fine on my
computer, that is I can access the files.
