Hi,
I just updated my Bridge to the latest version and now it won't recognize any of the files on my Desktop or Documents. There are a LOT of files in both places. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how can I fix this? Also, Bridges shows arrows on top of the Desktop and Documents folders. I've never seen that before. Yet if I click on either of these folders, it won't recognize even one file inside them. I've never had this issues before. Please help?

Hi Pony,
OK, a quick caveat: I am using Mojave, I occasionally use some software that will not work in Catalina (I'm buying time). However, I've helped some who use Catalina and some of the basic problems are well known.
Let's try one or both of the following "solutions.":

It's possible that similar automated functions for

I have been so frustrated for a long time when, after an update, the Adobe Bridge folder tree no longer corresponded to the location of files inside any of icloud synced Desktop/Document folders. Meaning that when I clicked a file/files from any of folders within icloud in Bridge Content window, the folder panel remains idel. Before, it would go to the location of that selected file. For whatever random reason, today, it finally occured to me to enable "Show Hidden File" under "View" dropdown manu. And, the problem was solved. It is a bit annoyed to see all the hidden files but, at least, now I can see where my file locates and can easily navigate to other folders directly on Folder Panel. I attached 2 settings for your reference if you encountered similiar issues and would like to give this solution a try. I am sure there is another way but, so far, I have not yet come across a solution without the clutters of hidden files.
