Bug Description
I'm using Loki alongside Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion 14 Sleekbook. I've noticed that files copied from Loki to a Windows partition keep disappearing. It seems like this happens probably after booting back into Windows as I made sure to check all the files were successfully copied and working on Loki. I don't think this is about the Windows hibernation issue as many web resources suggest because I use shutdown /s command when I shutdown Windows. Files used to be copied and accessed successfully on Windows as well when I started using elementary OS but nowadays they won't.

Hello jackalsandflames, I assume you are copying using the Pantheon FileManager? When you say the files disappear, do you mean they disappear from the Windows partition? Does this happen with all file types and sizes? Does it always happen? If you copy and then reboot back into Linux rather than Windows do they disappear? If so then it sounds like they were cached and never actually copied; if not then it sounds like Windows is deleting them for some reason.
