Hi, @User_28921. I'm sorry to say this, but there is probably no solution. 

 

Bridge was designed to be used on attached drives, not servers (or NAS drives). If you have been getting access in the past, that was by luck, not design. You are not the only person to expect to use Bridge on Server systems, but unfortunately, the dynamics of servers have a lot of overhead that Bridge was not designed to work with. Making it work with servers would undoubtedly require a complete rewrite, and it would take considerable time before such a new bridge was available. 

 

Viewers who can do what Bridge does (and much more) are available but not cheap. I cannot recommend any to you as I do not work with those systems and have zero experience with them.

 

I have no recommendations for you, I'm sorry.
