Importing .gdb file in desktop ArcMap

Question

When I am importing .gdb file in QGIS, I cannot see the all years data.

I am trying to import the .gdb folder in ArcMap using the following step:

Add data -> connect to folder -> folder.gdb

But I cannot add and open the folder. Can anyone tell me which step I am missing?

File geodatabase is an Esri file format. If ArcGIS can't read it, the data folder is corrupt. — Vince, Commented Aug 16, 2021 at 22:50
Note that file geodatabase is not a single file. It is a folder (directory) with a ".gdb" suffix containing more than a score of files. If you have a zipfile and haven't disabled "hide suffixes of known formats", you should do that before extracting to a folder. — Vince, Commented Aug 16, 2021 at 23:12
May not be corrupt. You can't "Add data -> connect to folder -> folder.gdb" because it's not a "folder" to ArcGIS, it's a file geodatabase. Use "Add data" and just browse to the filegeodatabase.gdb. If you can't browse and do need to "connect to folder", connect to a folder (not the .gdb) at a level above the geodatabase. — user2856, Commented Aug 17, 2021 at 5:50

I connected the .gdb folder to a generic folder (not .gdb) and it's working perfect.
