If you mix user shares and disks when moving/copying, you can lose data by specifying a source path and destination path that are actually the same files. This results in creating a new empty file at the destination, then there is nothing at the source to copy.

It does not appear that happened in my case, as all the files are reporting a particular size and are not appearing "missing" from programs. Thanks!
