Items in a folder are hidden + no longer available in original folder

Hello All,

I was attempting to use Bridge to view a folder on my iCloud but did not have it saved in my favorites. Try as I might I was unable to locate the iCould folder in my Bridge favorites, so I opened up my iCloud folder in a finder window, then dragged and dropped it into the "Favorites" panel of Bridge. Once the folder was there it did not show any images and just stated "1 hidden".

Then when I went back to my iCloud folder where the photos USED to live they were ALL GONE! I even tried to hop on my iCloud through a web browser (hoping they hadn't linked and they were still gone).

HELP! I need to know how to recover my photos, and also how to link my iCloud folder to my favorites in Bridge so I can access photos from there in the future.

TIA!

Sincerely,

PANICKED!

Hi caitlinmerto,

Well, this is very strange that you moved the local folder in Bridge and all images are gone from iCloud. Maybe that folder is syncing with iCloud on a real-time basis.

Please check the trash folder or try searching the images using the spotlight on your machine also, refer the below link for the related discussion.
