Lightroom Desktop will suddenly not open local files

Question

Suddenly and unexpectedly, Lightroom (9.6 arm64) stopped being able to show locally stored images.  Even when “Local” is selected, Lightroom will not display the local hard drive’s file structure.  It shows only my cloud file/folder structure.  Comms here are slow; I cannot push my hundreds of GB of sports photos to the cloud so Lightroom can work on them.

Hey, @kentarnold75. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Does this not work with specific storage drives? Ensure Lightroom has the required permissions on macOS: https://adobe.ly/466Jir1

Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
