Everything worked fine last night, but today ArcDroid would not read anything on my thumb drive. I re-formatted the drive with ArcDroid, reloaded the same files and still does not show anything in there.  
ArcDroid works normally in all other respects. Am I missing something? I have a call into tech support, but have not heard back yet.

Like most of my problems, this one appears to be self-induced. I called the Texas tech line and he told me that I was loading the wrong type of file. ArcDroid reads DXF and G-code files, not SVG. Back to work. Thanks ArcDroid
