Take a look which file system the drive is, HFS+, NTFS ? What OS system computer do you own? HFS+ is Mac OS file system, and NTFS is Windows OS file system.
Mac computer cannot access the NTFS file system drive, and Windows computer cannot access the HFS+ file system drive
This can be a possibility....just putting up reasons for not seeing the data.
IF you have no or lost permissions, the folder will show as empty, try looking at the folder permissions!
Please let me know if this was of any help.

It is NTFS and I'm using it on my Windows 10 computer
How do I check folder permissions?
