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.

Hit the Advanced tab (bottom left) to see thumbnails.
Can you see the images via the Photos app?
Which version of Bridge are you using?
This may be helpful, although it refers to OS El Capitan.

Just copy files in the Finder. The Bridge downloader has been problematic for a while now.

Very recently purchased an iMac 2019 and having the same issue. Very frustrating. Whats confusing is the fact that the pictures can import perfectly with PS Lightroom Classic. Another issue after doing edits on a raw file in Adobe Bridge then enter "done" it just leaves me in Photoshop rather than going back into Bridge to continue working on raw files.

I'm having the same problem (importing .jpg) on OSX Catalina with my D7500. My D90 works correctly. I'm guessing it's not OSX but rather something with Bridge 2020. I can get the files using "Import from Device" but not with "Get Photos from Camera".

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.

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

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

This has stopped working again across all of my Adobe CC apps (Bridge, Photoshop and Lightroom). Can someone at Adobe please advise?

Did not work for me. I can load my images onto my mac by the Mac card slot and can access them via PS. Bridge CC21 does recognize either my Nikon D610 nor myOlmpus OM-D still says my files are not valid.............which makes no sense as I can edit them in Camera Raw and in PS. I dont think its a cable issue, as the casmeras dont share the same cable. Any other suggestions?
thanks

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.

computers don't reformat cards unless they are instructed to.
you can easily eleimnate user error by flipping the write protect tab.

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.
