Feb 24, 2021 at 14:59 comment added TDGooldy Yes, this is a back up drive. My Macbook only has a 512 GB drive, so I had backed up 15 years of pictures onto the Seagate backup drive to make space on my Macbook. I also backed those pictures up to the cloud (or at least I thought I did) only to find the folders empty. The Seagate drive is my only copy of those 1,000s of pictures. Hope that helps to clarify.
Feb 24, 2021 at 0:35 comment added TJ Luoma Sorry, I'm a little confused. Clarifying question: If this is a "backup drive" for your 2017 MacBook… did something happen to your 2017 MacBook? Isn't all of your data on the MacBook?
Feb 24, 2021 at 0:26 comment added Steve Chambers Sorry to say but it sounds like a failure of the drive or USB controller in the drive case. Especially as Seagate couldn't help you fix it. It may be time for a data recovery company to have a crack at the drive. Tho those can be expensive...
