External disk "SSD" recognized as network device

Due to the amount of files, we use the Creative cloud storage. We do this by sharing all files with our design team.

All data is about 600GB, for this reason we have always used External SSD to keep the speed high for every user.

Unfortunately, since the last version of OSX "Ventura", the external SSD is seen as a Network device, formatted as EXFAT. Is there a fix for this?

This has always worked great in the past.

I wonder if others also run into this issue.

Error: 

"Sync is not supported on network locations. Please choose a different folder."
