Bridge CC 2018 does not see my external drives (MacOS High Sierra), but Lightroom CC 2018 does.  Problem occurred after restarting system, it worked right after install.

    Hi Jetputt,

    Could you please try resetting the preferences of Bridge & let us know if it helps:

    Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

    Regards,

    Sahil

    Hello,

    I tried this and did not work.  Bridge does not see my external drives.  I have tried twice, including restarting Bridge and my system, and still does not work.  I need to access my files to complete my work.  Thank you.

    Please check if you have any Os update pending.

    Also, please check if Bridge has Read & Write permission for all users.
