The FileField sources / IMCE browser displays the directories only (no files)
I opened up permissions on the files within the directories all the way and they still do not display
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I also have the same issue, no files are shown in IMCE and I have checked all permissions etc.

This is similar to #436182: IMCE lists unusable files (The selected file could not be used because the file does not exist in the database). You can only add files that are controlled by File module to begin with. If a file was uploaded in some other way, you are not allowed to use it in the field. This is because if you were allowed to use an existing file, then clicked the "Remove" button after attaching it; it would delete the file. So FileField Sources only allows you to attach a file that has been uploaded on another node to ensure you can't accidentally go deleting files that are in use elsewhere.

thanks for the info !
Unfortunately I need to attach lots of files in predetermined directories to do drupal commerce products.
Filefield sources attach works but there are no directories available to select from.
I'm not sure if anyone has a work around other than uploading 1 by 1 using the browse button ?

See comment #1460694-3: Using managed files with filefield sources / IMCE - not displaying. The error there only occurs in the root directory, but if you don't have managed files in subdirectories, the bug report might be described as here...
