I think you likely meant to say that your Mac cannot access the Data folder on the Time Capsule.


Your profile indicates that you are running macOS 10.12.x "Sierra" on your Mac. Is that correct, or have you updated the Mac to a more recent version of the Mac operating system?


We assume that you have already tried powering off the Time Capsule, restarting your Mac and powering the Time Capsule back up again, correct?


If you open any Finder window, does the Time Capsule appear on the left panel of the window under the "Locations" heading, (or the heading might read "Devices") on your Mac?


If you open AirPort Utility on your Mac........(Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility).......does the Time Capsule appear in the main window?
