Folders Not Showing up in Windows File Explorer

[Damionix]

So, I have been having this weird thing happen to my pool lately. 

 

I have 5 hard drives in one pool with no duplication set. I use the combined pool for movies, TV shows, Music, and 3D movies for Plex. 

Lately, when I add movies in the movies folder in the pool, I am unable to find it using File Explorer. No matter what I do ( show hidden files, show hidden operating System files) it still will not show up. 

The only way I am able to see the folder(s) I just added is by searching for it. It will show me the folder in the search result, but if I right click and click show containing folder, again it does not show up. 

As a result plex is also unable to find the folders to notice a new movie has been added. 

 

This is where it gets weirder. If I add TV shows to the TV shows folder, or music, I am able to see them in File explorer and Plex finds it too. 

And in some cases I am unable to find the folder or it's content at all. 

Please see attached pictures.

 

Is there a solution for this?

 

Thank You.

I think I answered this in a ticket already.  Pretty certain, actually.  

 

If not, let me know. 

 

 

Also, are you using compressed folders on the pool (or underly disks)?

Yes you did. I did ask that you kindly ignore this one and close the others. Sorry for the repeat. I was very desperate back when this happened :-(

Not a problem. I just wanted to clean up (I don't like leaving unanswered posts). 

 

That said, if it's urgent, always use the Contact site, as that is what is checked first and more often.
