Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help. :)
- Do test the USB first onto a different PC and see if you'll be able to see those files or not.
- Another troubleshooting step is to format the USB itself then see if the same problem will persist or not.
- If other USB driver works just fine that means it's the USB drive that is faulty.
