Readynas 214 disconnected map and lost all data
I have a readynas214 equipped with 4x4Tb drives. It is working fine. I had it mapped as a shared drive on my windows 10 system. Last night I needed to disconnect the drive letter mapping. The system warned me that there were open files and I could lose data. I checked the drive but could see nothing open and no reason to worry, so I disconnected.
Now I cannot find any folders on the drive at all. The default folders are on there but nothing else.
Checking the NAS from another PC whose drive map is still connected shows the data is all there and can be accessed. How do I safely reconnect from my PC without causing any further problems or risking the data?

First, try rebooting the PC.
Is the "missing" data in a home folder, or a public share?
Is the mapped drive set up so files/folders are available off-line? Or is it on-line only?
