USB Sharing on AX50 Files Not Seen

AX50 was sharing files with my primary Windows 11 machine but intermittent on my secondary on same network. Usually used for temporary holding between two machines.
Now I can see the file share as a computer in Network (along with my own) but clicking through it shows no files although there are files on the USB drive.
Previously the "Share" box in router configuration allowed me to select the G drive (named that) but now it just has the share contents option to "Share all Folders" which is unchecked next time I go in. The interface does not look like the setup and troubleshooting tutorials online, having a different (pie chart) selection of drives and no sharing options other than a big grey box saying "sharing contents".
Have followed all of the setup and troubleshooting steps found online such as enabling SMB on both machines (both did not have it, even the one that worked).
Have removed USB drive, checked on PC, and rebooted router.
I'd like to get the file sharing back and working reliably for both machines, thanks.
Two things that you could try:
1) Test if the AX50's file sharing works if you plug in a different USB drive. (provided you have one available)
2) Plug the original USB drive it into a computer and then "format" it. (before doing that make sure you have a backup of that 1 file that's on the USB drive, in case you still need it)
Then plug the USB drive back into the AX50 and check if anything is different now.
By the way. Maybe TP-Link didn't make it obvious enough, but the way it works is that a mouse-click on the 
displays the pie chart and a click on the 
displays the table chart like shown on the screenshot above.
