I'm using a Huawei P8 with a MicroSD Card to store my cam images and everything works correctly until today.
I found that I can list all the pictures/files from the "gallery" of Android in my local SD files, but when I connect the SD Memory to my PC via USB and mount the FS, I can explore all the tree of the filesystem and also the path where my files are located, but can't see the last 24 hours files I created with my cam.
These same files can be listed in the "Gallery" of my Phone, as well as I can check the same INTERNAL PATH of Android FS that I reproduce later in Windows Explorer without seeing the same files there, but I can see in Windows the rest of the files of that same SD directory.
Anyone can give me some light on this, please?

When in phone I use ES File Explorer, all files and folders show fine.
But when i mount the phone via USB some of the folders and files (app files) are invisible, if i try to copy them from PC to the same place as I did before, it says it cannot copy (the ones with the same names already exist, just invisible for some reason).
Any idea why it happens?
I never see something like that with SGS2 and HTC Sensation
Hi there,
Do you have the files on your SD card or on the internal storage of the phone?
I got the same issue and I got the files on my SDCard which is exFat formatted... I guess the exFat system causes the issue with my files...
This is with 64GB Sandisk microSDXC card
So, do you mean that we need to make it NTFS?
I am having this same issue. I have also 64GB exfat. So far I haven't found a solution. I tried to unmount the card in the phone and it did show all the files for awhile but then most of the files disappeared again. Hopefully someone can solve this annoying issue.
Could you tell us what kind of files are hidden for you?
I have some APK files and folders with APKs hidden
I have music folder which includes lots of music files (most of them mp3) and also folder with JPEG files which aren't visible.
I have a galaxy S4 Sprint, and I just bought a Sony 64GB class 10 card from Amazon. I formatted it with SD Formatter (exFAT) with the program from sdcard.org.
I copied all my files over, and I had about 3GB of photos in DCIM/Camera/. Then today I tried to view my gallery but the photos didn't show up. I checked in a file manager /storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/ and it said 0 files. I thought "Great, it lost the whole folder, now I'll have to copy it from my old card"
So I put in my new card into my SD card reader [microSD to SD adapter, into laptop SD slot], and I navigate to DCIM/Camera/, and on my computer, it shows 3GB worth of files in there! So I move it back to my phone, and it shows 0 files. I am 100% sure I'm in the right directory since I made a blank file in DCIM/ and it shows up on both laptop and phone.
another thing, when I try to put anything in DCIM/Camera/ it fails (file manager gives error, but terminal command "touch test-file.txt" doesn't give error, but "ls" shows no files there)
I am running the latest CM11 snapshot M3 for jfltespr [Sprint GS4]. I'm quite baffled by this. Can anybody suggest something to fix this issue? I was thinking of formatting my card to ext4, but windows doesn't support it natively [I have Linux dual boot though].
Update: since nobody suggested anything, I renamed Camera to Camera2, then created a new directory, Camera, then cut/paste all pics in Camera2 into Camera, and now I have everything back in my gallery..
Also I tried running chkdsk on the sd card, but it found no errors. I ran it twice. Anyway, not sure what happened, but hopefully it doesn't happen again.
I am able to see all the files on the file explorer inside the phone but when I connect it to the usb to view on Windows only some files are shown. It started happening out of nowhere both on ZV8 and ZVA. I unmounted the sd card and I am still unable to see all the files. The PC does recognize the correct file size in the folder, however(500mb but only shows around 100mb) It's currently on MTP mode. What could be the problem?
I have pictures saved to the micro SD card on the phone. I connect the phone to my PC (Windows 7) and I found a bug, where the image size would read as 0 bytes. And on the PC I won't be able to open the file. Copying the file over to the computer will yield an un-openable file.
The image is open-able in the Gallery from Asus in the phone. But if I look under details it won't tell me the size.
Lucky for me the Asus File Manager is still able to read the size of these images.
The Fix:
1) Open file manager from Asus on your phone.
2) Locate your pictures in your micro sd card (Location SD). Check and see if you can see all the file sizes.
3) If yes, select all images. Copy them to a folder in your internal storage (Location IN) in your phone.
4) Then select all the newly created images from the internal storage. Copy them back into the same spot (Location SD) as the origin.
5) Your PC should be able to read those files sizes now. Once everything is fixed, feel free to delete the duplicates in Location IN.
This problem happens when you use a third party program like Microdroid to move files from the internal storage over to your microSD card. As such only use the Asus File Manager to move files.
(You can set the default saving location to your microSD. But I found that to be too slow, specially for video recording. Hence I want to save first to internal storage and then move them to microSD after. Either way you can play around.)
Hi I am Rupesh from India and I have a PC and redmi note 4 with 64 GB internal storage. I want to transfer files between redmi note 4 and PC but can't. I am getting a number of errors while transferring in various situations.
I have a folder in external SD card which contains 500 mp3 files of size 2.5 GB. I have tried to move these files to a folder in PC and unfortunately 150 files are transferred properly with correct size and remaining 350 files are copied with zero size for all files. Finally I have lost 350 files in SD card so I have tried to recover using data recovery software in redmi note 4 itself but failed. In order to transfer these files I have compressed them after that copied the resulted zip file to PC and succeeded.
I have three text files in a folder of PC. First I have selected these three text files and selected copy option after that I have connected the phone to PC and selected transfer files option after that in internal storage I have made right click and I can't find paste option and even I have pressed Ctrl+v and no use. I have tried to copy these text files to lenovo a3000 internal storage which is connected as USB storage and successfully completed.
Previously I have tried to copy 2000 mp3 files of size 9 GB and unfortunately 1500 files are copied and remaining left un copied.
Suppose if I want to copy a folder containing 1000 files from PC to redmi note 4 and the phone already contains 500 files. I want to copy remaining 500 files and skip already existing files. I have tried copy and paste and it asked confirmation to replace existing files or not and I have selected no and after that the paste process is taking lot of time. If I try to copy these 1000 files to an empty folder of phone storage the paste process is taking less time than above.
I have used a number of android phones and tabs and all of them have an option to mount storage as USB storage in PC but redmi note 4 doesn't. Can anyone of you suggest how to mount internal storage or external SD card as USB storage. Is there any android app which allows mounting as USB storage.
My PC runs Windows 8.1 pro and my phone runs MIUI 9.
Is there any PC companion suite specifically for redmi note 4 which allows transferring files between redmi note 4 and PC with minimum errors.
Regards,
Rupesh.
Is it possible to transfer huge amount of files between PC and redmi note 4 using the software specified above.
At present I have rooted my phone and installed custom recovery and so is there any firmware or app in order to mount internal and external storages as USB removable storage drives.

USB storage? Like the normal "transfer files" option, or MTP storage (USB debugging option)? You can use TWRP and I think that mounts both drives as USB storage.
Did you convert your SD card to internal storage? Or is it portable storage? When you take the SD card out and insert it into your computer, do you have access to your files, or no? If not, it's configured as internal storage.

USB storage I mean I want to use it as normal USB removable storage like pen drive. Up to now I have connected my phone to computer by turning on USB debugging option.
In mtp mode file transfer is taking lot of time that too error prone. Suppose I want to copy a directory containing 100 sub directories and 2000 mp3 files from PC to my internal storage and when I try to paste and it will ask do you want to skip already existing file's and when I select yes it is taking up to 1.5 hours just to skip already existing file's.
In mtp mode when I connect my phone to PC in Windows explorer I am able to see an entry called android phone and when I enter into it I am able to see two entries called "internal storage" and external SD card. I have another android device ie., tablet called lenovo a3000 h and when I connect it to my PC I am able to see two entries with new drives for internal storage and external storages like g: drive for internal storage and h: drive for external storage. When I try to copy files from PC to my tab the file transfer is very fast without any errors and also skipping existing file's is also fast. The tab is running ice cream Sandwich and my phone is running nought.
My external SD card is portable I mean I am able to access the files present in it when I connect it to PC using card reader. The problem is my phone ie., redmi note 4 is a sealed piece I mean if I want to take SD card out I have to use a needle.
I think that you have understood my problem and so can you try to suggest how to connect my internal and external storages as g: and h: drives.

If you want to use it as normal removable storage, that's called portable mode. When you first inserted your SD card into your device, it might have given you two options: format as portable storage or internal storage. Those are the options I was presented with on LOS 15.1. I don't know how it works on MIUI.
If portable storage, then your SD card should show up as another entry when you connect your phone to your computer. If internal storage, only one entry shows (since your SD card is combined with your internal storage). Since I formatted my SD card as internal storage, it shows up as one entry when I connect and select the "Transfer files" option.
In TWRP, the SD card and internal storage show up as two distinct entries (I guess that's just how TWRP works).
It sounds like there's something wrong with your SD card, IMO. Remove it to the phone and insert it into the computer by itself. Format it, then put it back into your phone and see if that fixes anything.
