iPad files app showing folder as empty

I've been trying to set up a mobile Lightroom workflow on my iPad, but when I try to load files form my camera's memory card, the Files app isn't showing the contents of some of the card's folders. I know the issue isn't with Lightroom as the problem occurs when I run the Files app separately, too.


Example:


If I open "Untitled" (the SD Card), I can see


  • DCIM
  • MISC
  • System Volume Information


SVI contains files and MISC contains GPS, which is empty


DCIM contains


  • 100EOS5D
  • 101EOS5D
  • EOSMISC


EOSMISC and 100EOS5D both show files in the app, but 101EOS5D doesn't. I have verified on my computer that the folder is not empty.


Any ideas what's going on?

iPad Pro, iOS 13

Hello,


Try updating to iPadOS 13.3.1 to see if it resolves your problem.
