Folders not visible on EZ Flash when created on a Mac

I‘ve been a Mac user more than one decade, I use and test all EZ products on macOS.

But I never encounter your issue......

So, can you provide more details? which version os are you using? how do you format your SD card?

 

The exFAT supports on macOS has many issues.

Please try the official SD formatter. SD Memory Card Formatter | SD Association (sdcard.org)

And install the CleanMyDrive2(free) from Mac AppStore. it can remove any os generated dot file automatically when you eject SD card.

 

Try another file browser other then Finder, muCommander for example.

 

Please post a screenshot of your folders and filenames

Seriously, I've never encountered a situation where a folder is invisible unless you manually set the folder's properties to read-only.

The kernel will not display the file and folder which properties set to read-only. Perhaps this is the reason?

 

Do you have a smaller SD card, like 4GB-32GB, try with FAT32?

 

I remembered which I’d encountered the issue before.

The exfat suppot on macOS is very crap. all folders which created on exfat will miss the archive bit. it will not display in lots of devices, including EZ series products and Switch.

The switch community has been plagued by this problem for a long time.

You can watch this tutorial to learn why. but it will not work on EZ-Series.

The success way which I tested:
use a vm with windows, select all of your folder on SD, select properties, then select Advanced, check Ready for Archiving, apply them to all sub-items.

The folders will be visible after this.

 

Hey, were you able to figure out the issue? I'm having the exact same issue, Mac and all.

 

You can get VirtualBox on your mac and download an image from Microsoft of Windows 7.
Search for "Virtual Machines Microsoft Edge Developer"
From here they have documentation on how to import it, use it, and make sure the temporary license key doesn't expire. Super useful.

Once you boot it up in VirtualBox you can load the sd card there and make whatever file operations you need to.
