Folder turned invisible after moving
I was trying to move a folder out of a directory to the root of my NAS so I grabbed it from tree view and dragged it to the root directory. Everything appeared to go smoothly, until it finished movi...

Not FTP, and not the web ui. It has to be SMB.
With Windows enter \\nasname\data into the file explorer address bar (win 10) or windows explorer (other windows).
Log on is "admin" (no quotes) with the NAS admin password.
Or open cmd, and enter
net use * /delete
net use T:\ \\nasname\data /user:admin password
That will mount the data volume as drive letter T.
In all the examples above, the direction of the slashes matters. You can use either the nas name or its ip address for nasname
What NAS are you running (and what firmware)?
By the "root" do you mean the volume? (data or c)
Sorry I didn't give more information in the original post. I'm using a ReadyNAS 104 on firmware 6.2.5. I tried dragging it to data, and I'm pretty sure the progress bar at the top showed it being moved to data.
I tried running a balance with no luck, I had read somewhere that may help.
Thanks for the reply

If you wanted it to become a share, then you'd need to create the share with the web ui, and then copy/delete the folder contents.
What you did should have worked, but you'd only see the folder when you browse \\NAS\data with admin credentials.
Hopefully the logs will give mdgm a clue on what actually happened.
I assume what StephenB said is what happened and it would be easy for you to check.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
