Is it me or is the local recording directories and video files disorganized on USB drives?

Hello,

I'm using a 64 GB USB flash drive that started in the end of 2020. I safely disconnected it from Arlo 2 Pro's base station to connect yo my updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC.

I noticed some directories are empty. I sorted the directories from newest to oldest (dates), but saw a few newest directories were empty. The oldest ones were empty but not automatically deleted since I told my to autodelete very old ones to regain disk space.

Is anyone else seeing this problem too? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. 🙂

@ant

I get the same when reviewing the recordings on my 16GB backup drive. I have auto overwrite enabled and note that random directories have last modified time with recent activity although empty.

I recall this quirky time stamping has been about since I purchased the product or at least a few years.

You could try using the date created on the folders to align sorting.

Thanks. Arlo sure makes it hard for its users! 😞
