Datastore not available when browsing, but is mounted

In ESXI 6.5, Datastore stows up fine, yet says only "local" VMFS datastores can be browsed.

Check out if this is what you are experiencing .

-->From SSH you are able to browse to the datastore and access files ?

-->DO you see any reported errors for such datastores in vmkernel.log and hostd.log ? any reported storage issues ?

Well,

the message says it. You can browse VSAN and local VMFS datastores with the web client you are using.

Your datastore is a NFS datastore.

Yes, everything is ok with your environment. As said, you just cannot browse the datastore with that web client because this feature is not implemented yet.
