I'm currently unable to upload files to Bridge CC from my Nikon camera.

Correct answer BruceQuimby

I have had the same issue using OS 10.15.6. Not only did the downloader not find any "valid files," even though it recognized my Nikon D850, it froze. I had to force quit the downloader. That said, when I tried again, it worked.

It turns out that my issue was the cable. Nikon's cable leave a lot to be desired. It's faster to just pull the card from the camera anyway.

I have a Fuji xt30 and am experiencing the same problem. I did the below instructions (full disk access for Bridge) but that has not solved this issue.

I prefer to leave the card in the camera. I've ten into issues with mounting the card outside of the camera where the computer reformatted or corrupted my card and I lost all of my photos. It's not the cable this is a new camera. Thanks though.

If you're having issues accessing external drives, card readers, cameras, etc. AND you are on a Mac using Catalina or Big Sur do the following:

Go to your System Preferences and select Security and Privacy (found in the top section). Now click on the Privacy setting (last tab). Now click on the lock on the bottom left and provide your Administrator code. Now select the Full Disk Access option and click on the "+" symbol. This will bring up the standard Mac Open window and let you add any application you want or need to have full access. Look for Bridge, select it, it will now appear in that window and make sure it's checked. Next go to the Files and Folders option and do the same thing as above (although there's nothing to check, just add. Close everything down and see if that makes it all work.

Please let me know

People if nothing worked, then try rolling back to a previous version of bridge.
