Full disclosure, this is a a fully working hackintosh and the problem started a about 2 months ago.
In the files section I have several sources set up that do not have content set. There are a few hundred folders in these sources but MANY do not even appear in my files view, they used to though. The problem is not restricted to one drive either. All my drives are NTFS formatted. All the folders I can't see in Kodi are fully accessable in Finder from the desktop and all the files within will play with any media player...VLC...Quicktime etc etc
If I boot into Windows and use Kodi from there, the problem does not exist. All the folders appear in the files view as they should.
This has been driving me nuts for a couple months now. I've been determined to fix it myself but I give up.
This is not a scraping issue.
The folders that don't appear do not have any weird characters in them and have the exact same security privileges as the folders that I can see.
EDIT: I have completely uninstalled KODI and started from scratch and nothing changes. Oddly enough the problem is even worse when I tried using the latest nightly for KODI 18. With KODI 18 NONE of the folders are visible when I add a source in the files view.
