Missing files from external drive

Question

Hi &#128578;I've been using a Mac Mini M1 2020 for over a year and something like this happened a few days ago.I installed the latest version of InDesign and noticed a scary thing. Well, files started disappearing from my hard drive. After opening a file in ID, all files disappear from the folder. So I uninstalled the newest ID and installed the previous version but this problem is still there. I connected the hard drive to a PC and Windows – these files are there. So I ran Disk Utility on Mac and this error pops up: Incomplete set of directory entries found in (and here's the path). Mac fixes it and the files go back to the directory. But this problem repeats itself. Here is a link to the video - this is what it looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP57RNousPY&ab_channel=MariuszBieniekThis doesn't happen on any other application, only on InDesign. What is the problem? Is this some InDesign or Ventura bug? It can't work like that. Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Hello.
Sorry I haven't written in a while, I had some problems. Anyway… I bought a new drive and formatted it with APFS and updated the ID back to the latest version. I've been working in this configuration for a few days and haven't noticed the problem I described earlier.

Looking online there is a lot of reports and solutions to Mac Ventura update deleting files. It's hard to know what is going on for you.
