I'm a newbie to Linux OS. I inserted a couple of USB's and some of the files say empty. Is there a solution to this? Zorin is very challenging, but a wonderful operating system.
Hi and welcome.
Do you have access to a Windows machine to see if you get the same results? How old are the USB sticks?

It might be a Ubuntu/GNOME Nautilus bug.
I had the same problem when I was using ubuntu in the past and opening Nautilus as admin was solving my issues.
Open terminal by pressing: Ctrl Alt T
Write this and click on enter: sudo -H nautilus
Opening nautilus with admin priviliges must solve the issue.
For long term solution, you can check Dolphin

I will have a Windows 10 CPU later today. The USB's are approximately about tow to three years old. On the USB stick some folders open and others don't. I only have documents on the folders that don't open.
Thank you all for the rapid response, I'll get back.
I will try this today and get back, thank you!

Only to have asked: There are no Encryptions or Password Protection with this Stick?
What File Type they are?
I like to thank everyone's assistance in this matter and ask for forgiveness in taking so long to respond. The flash drive died. Gratitude.
