New Folder Won't Show up in Myfolders on SAS

Hello,

I am new to SAS and have been utilizing the SAS University Edition online course to learn how to use the program. I have been successfully able to use and code for the duration of the course. Now, I am trying to access my own data and it will not show up as a folder under Myfolders in SAS at all. I created a new folder called DFBS with an excel file within and dragged it into the Myfolders shared file. Only my original folder (EPG194) shows up in server files and folder. Please see photos below. I have tried refreshing, restarting, etc. but my DFBS folder won't show up in SAS (even though my other one does).

Anyone have an idea what's going on? Am I forgetting a simple step from setup?

(Using a macOS version)

Thanks!

Change myfolders to be all lower case. Restart the VM - Oracle VirtualBox and restart and then refresh your browser, clearing the cache. If that doesn't work, please show the same screenshots and right click on MyFolders and select properties. Show a screen shot of that. I'm also assuming you've clicked the refresh button, the last icon above the Folders Shortcuts.

Use the refresh icon

Hi Reeza-

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately none of those options seemed to do the trick. I am quite baffled by why one folder would show up and not the other! I guess I can always directly upload my excel file to my EPG194 folder- although I would prefer to have the other for organizational purposes.

Thanks!

Delete the DFBS folder and create it within Servers Files & Folders rather than from externally?

You can do that with the first icon in SAS Studio above Server Files and Folders.

Hi Shmuel-

Thanks for your response. As stated in my initial query, I have tried that refresh option but to no avail.

I guess that'll do for now! I just find it strange that its not importing from the shared folder. Oh well!

Thank you!
