    I also have this problem with 16.0.0.59 - can no longer drag folders into Bridge in the Dock (Mac M1, OSX 26.0.1).

    Thanks for letting me know. Was curious if it was something unique about my setup.

    16.0.0.59 is not letting me drag and drop a folder to the dock icon. 26.0.1

    If you are on a Mac, have you given Adobe Bridge Permission to access the Dock?

     

    I have not seen Tohoe yet, so these instructions may be a tad different, but I'm sure you can work out any differences.

     

    Go into the System Preferences and select the Privacy & Security tab on the left. Note that there are two options on the right you'll need to deal with: "Files and Folders," and "Full Disk Access."

     

    First, going into Files and Folders, note that in various years of different releases of Adobe Bridge, different needs are needed. I do not know why this is, but it's always better to check and make sure that just because you did it for one release, you may or may not need it for a subsequent release.

     

     

    Lastly, go into the Full Disk Access option. If you do not see your application in the list, click on the "+" symbol at the very bottom of the window. This will bring up a standard Finder window. Navigate to your Applications Folder, find Adobe Bridge, and add it to the list (You will need to add your Administrator's password to do this.). Then you can "switch" it to the "ON" position. 

     

    Hopefully, this will solve your problem.

    Please let us know if that works or not.

    Thanks for your help and thorough instructions, Gary. 

    Files & Folders were already properly set. Full disk access wasn't on. Turned it on, restarted, but no luck. I appreciate the attempt, though.
