SharePoint Explorer view of Document Library is empty

You need to Access SharePoint Library and then open the library in explorer view , and when you do so you are faced that you don’t see any files while in the previous normal view you see files.

What is the issues is?

Explorer view makes use of WebDAV protocol to work. User needs atleast Read/view access at the top level site for accessing WebDAV protocol related files/functions. Any user who does not have atleast Read/View level access at the top level site was not able to open document library in Explorer view even though they has Contribute access on the library.

How to Resolve?

You just need to grant access to the whole site not only the library so users can open it in explorer view.
