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.

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. Randy Barnett

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.

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

You pulled the drive before the copying was done, or the drive is

Randy, Is this security thing a default on all windows
computers? If so, wouldn’t the subfolders not be shown? Could this
be bypassed by running a scan on the drive when it is plugged in?

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

Neither. In fact, one of the drives used was brand new, because I

No it’s a little program that comes on the thumb drive itself most of the bigger thumb drive suppliers supply these little security programs on the drive. I always format the drive completely and get rid of all that stuff before I use it. Has nothing to do with windows. If you get a brand new flash drive put it in your USB port. And open it you’ll see an application and a couple files that come on the hard drive. And sometimes these can cause issues. Substitute thumb drive everywhere says hard drive. :-) I’m using dictation on my phone… Randy Barnett

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.

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.

After I gave the thumb drive to my friend and he discovered that his
computers would not display the files, he returned it to me and I put the drive
into my computer and was able to view the files and even open one of the Word
Documents. Everything was as it should be on my computer. Why not on
his?

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.

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.

Who knows. Maybe you should go over to his place with the drive and poke around on his system, see what you can figure out.

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.
