I have an external disc formated in Ubuntu.

/dev/sdb1

47B9-1675

Basic Data

FAT (32-bit version) — Mounted at /media/username/johnySs

I gave the disc to a friend and they connected it to a Windows desktop it had some movies in one folder but, after when I conected the external disc to Ubuntu the folder didn't show up, however I can see the folder in the terminal.

What can I do?

You don't really need to add Solved in question title since this is Q&A site not a forum. If an answer helped you, you can simply mark that answer as accepted by click on tick/check mark under the answer. But if you solved your problem using solution other than listed in answer section, you can post that also as an answer. Thanks.

Because the first character of your foldername is '.', it is hidden in nautilus.

You can press Ctrl+H to show hidden files.
