There is some folder at the top level of that drive with a name that could be in a camera drive - like Video, PRIVATE, AVCHD, DCIM...

Either rename the offending folder, or put it inside another folder.

Samsung SSD not in the files app So I’ve seen a bunch of discussions on here, plus I’ve watched a bunch of videos. My Samsung T7 still is not showing up in the files app. I have the usb camera adapter as well. I even traded in one hard drive to get the same one because I thought the other might not be working. I need your help to figure this out.

External disk holds hundreds of files, but Disk Doctor says it's almost empty. My wife has hundreds of photo files on an external drive, but Disk Doctor says the volume is virtually empty. Each file on the external drive is a copy of one on the hard drive, but it's not an alias. I first suspected files on the external drive were actually in the Cloud, but she doesn't have photos saved to the cloud. The hard drive is about maxed out, so I need to determine which files are real so we can some of them off the hard drive and onto the external drive.

View pictures on external hard drive I think I downloaded my picture file from old computer to external hard rice ( Maxone). Once connected to new computer pictures shows “shortcut 1kb” yet when I click on it no pictures actually show? Maxone D shows on this PC but less than 1 gb is used so not sure if I copied correctly? Really want to save pictures please help
