Why is the downloads folder widget on the note 3 showing "no downloads"? checking the file location on both the internal and external cards shows plenty of files in each. What gives?

I'm not sure how or why, but all of a sudden the pictures in the picture tab stopped showing up.
Checked file manager to see that the files were ok, and they opened fine. However I now have two folders:
"Storagecard" which just seems to contain a few files from gAlarm.
"Storagecard2" which is my actual storage card with all my pictures and videos and music.
It wouldnt be a huge problem if not for the fact that the photo tab only allows you to look for pics in "my device" and "storage card"
I've tried to rename the folders, but it wont let me change "storagecard2"
Please can anyone help?

delete the storage card folder and soft-reset and everything should be sorted. you may, however, have to reinstall gAlarm.
Oddly this happened to me two nights ago out of the blue. Solved it by booting without the memory card in, deleting the folder then rebooting with the memory card back in.
It happens because during USB-mode the SDCard cannot be found by Winmobile, and if a program during that phase needs to save something to SDCard the system will write a new Storage Card folder, and rename the original one to "....2". For that reason I do not use USB mode for PC connections.
I just noticed that the images I take with my DZ camera disappear form the image gallery view on every reboot.
I have permanent root with visionary and am running Launcher pro and stock ROM.
This is what happens:
1. I shoot a picture
2. It shows in the gallery under 100MEDIA.
3. I turn off the phone (really off/batt remove)
4. I turn on the phone
5. I launch the gallery, and it rescans the SD card contents
6. *poof* : 100MEDIA folder listing is GONE.
I have no hidden folders.
When I browse the SD card with Astro, the images are still there in \DCIM\100MEDIA. I have put loads of pictures from my old phone on the SD card, and they are listed correctly every time.
What have I tried:
- I have installed SDRescan. No effect if I scan before, after boot, whatever. I even have the feeling the images dissapear from the view whenever I run SDRescan so it doesn't work for me.
- I have swapped the stock SD card for a formatted class 6 8GB from my Rhodium. Same behaviour.
- I have installed another Gallery (Nexus 3D) with same behaviour.
- I have tried disconnecting and remounting SD card through SD card settings, no luck either.
I am running out of options here.
Anyone please?
Anyone? I am getting desperate...
I dont think you'll see '100media' folder in your gallery eventhough you obviously can find it through sd card. Try find in 'camera shot' folder if it is there
Try do this: go to manage application, pick ur gallery/photo app, clear data/cache, then restart the app
send from my RcMagic v2.0

Thanks for your reply!
I already tried this, however no result.
BUT!!!!! Your post encouraged me to dig a little further.
I tried renaming 100MEDIA folder etc, playing in Astro. I then checked to show hidden files and folders.... and guess what? There was a .nomedia file in the DCIM root!!! Now I googled it and apparantly every folder that has such a file in there does not get scanned for media content as pictures, video's, music etc.
Deleted the .nomedia file and the pictures finally show up in the gallery!!
BTW, it does list as 100MEDIA folder in the gallery.
Topic can be closed closed, hope it helps someone else in the future.

Well first of all uninstall and install folder mount. And you should correctly mount the folder. First hit "+" icon on the top. A new window opens. There is Name, Source and Destination. Write the name of game( any one you like) in Name. Now tap on Source. This is the important step. You should properly browse the folder. If you have obb then browse like Android>obb>com.Nameofgame. After you reach the game file folder you will see nothing except up. When you reach here Click "Right" icon ( sorry i dont have that icon so i wrote in words). After that a new window will open and prompt you to create destination folder automatically. Hit yes. Then Hit "right" icon on the top. Then you will be prompted to move the file. Hit yes. After the file is moved Click the icon (something like pin and is white in colour) on the right to your name of game. It is for mounting the folder. If turns green then you have successfully mounted your folder
Hello. I have galaxy S4 m919. Phone has 16 gb, but getting low. One of my biggest files is, thumbnails cache. 1.2 gb. I tried to link that folder, but after rebooting, my external memory card shows up in file manager as the cache folder, and I cannot navigate out of that into my card. Any thoughts?
Xiaomi Mi A1 with updated Android One and Nova Launcher, not rooted, with 128 GB Micro-SD-card; no problems so far UNTIL ...
For about a week I encountered facets of the "download pending" issue: Play Store wouldn't install app updates. I tried emptying Play Store cache and data, and also reinstalled Play Store from an .apk file downloaded with a browser.
In addition, Android would freeze after about 10 minutes of inactivity. When I picked it up, the "messages in"-LED would blink, but the screem would stay dark until I did a reset to force Android to boot again = "zombie state".
Then this morning came improvement. Several updates installed (though not all of them) but most importantly the "zombie state" problem is gone.
BUT now there seems to be a problem with storage:
* camera won't take any pictures: "USB storage is running out of space" even though there are gigs of free space on internal and external storage
* selecting a photo from WhatsApp: the pictures show up OK in the gallery, but when I select them I get "Sorry, this media file doesn't seem to exist on your SD card"
* downloads via Chrome or TubeMate fail; Chrome states: "SD card not found (!!!) Download to default folder: Downloads"
* music and video files play OK though
* in Settings > Storage, the SD card is present
Any thoughts, please? Could this be a failing SD card? How can I check it?
I save Songs and Videos in Songs Folder and Videos Folder created in MicroSd Card inserted in my Samsung M30s.But they disappear after some time.How to keep them secure in these folders?
Maybe you have some service enabled on your phone that wipes memory from files not used for a certain period of time, or moves them to the cloud. You know your phone best yourself. Did you connect the microSD as external memory or internally?
Which might be that services?Can you name some for an example?I connected the MicroSd as External Memory.
Look first in this application, where you have selected a directory in the external memory.
You can also move files to another location on the microSD yourself before they disappear in the location where they disappear.

Thank you ze7zez.First I shall try moving these files to already existing folders in the Sdcard watch whether they are disappearing.Afterwards I shall report the result here.
Do not use directories that the system or applications have posed.
Create a DATA directory yourself and move files to it.
Thank you ze7zez,
As you advised,I moved the Video files to the Movies folder and the Audio files to the Music folders.You know these folders are designated by the Phone itself whien I inserted the MicroSd Card for the first time.Then I watched for a day to see whether the files are disappeared from these folders.I found that those files are there still in these folders.Now I want to know why these files vanish from the folders created by me?
Describe /the actions you perform/name the applications you use/ that place files in directories where they later disappear.
I used File Manager Plus Application to move video files to Videos Folder and Audio files to Songs Folder.These Videos and Songs Folders were created by myself in the Sdcard.And these files were moved from the Send Anywhere Folder in the Sdcard itself.And to my dismay this Send Anywhere Folder itself was also created by myself in the Sdcard.Also the files in this folder remain in tact.They won't disappear.
So did the files disappear from the "Send Anywhere" directory?
What application placed the files in "Send Anywhere"?
The files did not disappear from the Send Anywhere Folder.They are still there since 3 days.This SendAnywhere directory got these files by transferring from another phone using Send Anywhere App.
