Can't access a folder: 'This folder does not exist' error
Hi experts,
I have a strange issue with one of my folders. If I try to view the /Public/Samples folder online, regardless which browser (FireFox / Edge), I only get an error message "The folder...
I have a file path home/HOA Reports/Reports/2021
I can see and open the HOA Reports folder
With the suggested shortcuts I can jump straight to the home/HOA Reports/Reports/2021 folder
However if I try to navigate to the home/HOA Reports/Reports folder, I get a "The folder ‘/HOA Reports/Reports’ doesn’t exist." message.
Any ideas on how to fix this, short of jumping into each subfolder and moving it to a new folder?

Hi jcicora, I hope you're doing well!
Is it safe to assume, since you mentioned navigating to Home, that you're referring to the Home page of your account online?
If you use an entirely different browser, do you get the same results there? What results do you get when searching for the Folder name, using our searchbar?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Megan,
You are correct, I was referencing from the Home page of my online account.
I typically use Firefox, however using Chrome had the same results.
The Reports folder would show in the suggested search results, however clicking on the result returned the same "...does not exist..." error

Hey jcicora, interesting!
Can you also check your events page, or deleted files page for this specific folder? Just to see what we can find there.
