[Q] I cant see folders on my SDCARD - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i plug my OPO on my computer all the memory is empty but all apps work on my phone and when i want to create a folder "Music" there is a message that say me "This folder already exist". I know that because i created this folder 2 day ago, so why i cant see the folder and the other folders.
(I hope my english is enough understandable)

What type of computer are you using? Mac or Windows? If you are on windows, when you are in the file explorer, try clicking on "view" at the top and checking "hidden items".
If it still doesn't show anything, try changing the usb connection on the phone from MTP to Camera, or vice versa.
Lastly, you could use ES file explorer to try to navigate your files.

put the card in your pc and load the card's content. right click on the my documents folder and see its properties. see if it is marked as Hidden. if it is, unmark it.
you can also goto your computer window folder option and mark show hidden items.
Also in file explorer on your ppc hit menu and check show all files.

[Q] Hidden files and MTP/Windows

I'm having a problem I think is due to MTP.
I have an app I am trying to backup the data for, stored in /sdcard0/ProgramData/Android/Language/.fr
Problem is, on the S3 all these files seem to be hidden.
In my older HTC phones I could still mount in Windows and view all my files, nothing was hidden.
But now nearly everything is hidden. I was able to find the files via ES File Explorer, and I copied the folder I wanted over the my sd card, still was hidden in windows. Seems like the "."prefix was why it was hidden, so I renamed it withou it.
Now the folder shows up in windows but all the subfolders (they don't have a "." prefix) and all the contents are still hidden.
Is there anyway to get around this behavior? Is there any way I can change the properties of the entire folder and subfolders via a file viewer or the like to not be hidden?
I know I can unhide everything from inside the app first, but that takes a ton of time to unhide just to backup and rehide it all.
Eh, nevermind.
A bit more time searching yielded:

While doesn't fix the issue it explained it. Working on trying Easy UMS, just doing the backup the hard way for the moment though.

sync save game with drop box between pc and android drops permissions

knights of pen and paper saves to data.kopp on both pc and android. dropsync would not see the folder the game saves too (/data/data/br.com.beholdstudios.knightspp/files) so i used folder mount to mount it to the sdcard. i set dropsync to sync the mounted save folder, than on the pc i made a mklink, linking the file (not folder) in dropbox to the save folder on pc. it successfully syncs both ways and is playable on both platforms. the only problem is after playing on pc, when it syncs back to the droid it changes the permissions to owner can read and write only. i cant change owner to the app, and i cant elevate the games access, so each time i have to manually change permissions so "other" can read and write using rom toolbox root explorer. i was hoping this process could be completely automated. im guessing being saved on a non lynix file system erases lynix permissions. any ideas how i can fix this.
No replys, is this the best place to post this or should i move it?

HELP!! Files Vanished in SD Card - But Says 4 GBs

I cant see all my files on my SD card when I connect my phone to my PC. When I check for properties in my PC, the SD card says its got 4.3 GBs of files, which is what I had. But when I check, theres a few files when I should have 60 files and folders. Theyre all disappeared or are hidden.
This occured when I tried to copy a movie from my SD card to my PC. It didnt copy. Instead I got an error saying its the wrong file type, which makes no sense.
How do I fix this?
Well if the content somehow became private or hidden files. You may want to enable "show hidden files and folders" in the folders option menu.
Try and check if its there or not.

Hi, TheArc. Yes, the "show hidden files and folders" option in XP is checked. But this doesnt work. Any other suggestions?

Where on Earth is the path to my downloads folder?

OK. So far I am aware of 2 download locations.
The first is the SD card, which I have transferred all files to my computer to make space on the card. I did that easily through windows explorer when my phone was connected to the PC. The path is Computer\Xperia Z3\Internal storage\Download. Or sdcard1/ I believe on my phone.
Next is the INTERNAL storage download location. For the life of me I cannot find this ANYWHERE. It doesn't show up on my PC file explorer, because I guess it's in the root of the phone, and I can't find it with root file explorer either. There's absolutely no indication as to where it is actually located on my phone. I have 5GB+ of apps and pics I want to transfer to my PC, but I can't do that until I know the path!
Here's a photo of the app that brings me to that location (bottom of the screen, "downloads")

I just tried another app. SAME PROBLEM AGAIN.
