Drobo folders no longer show up in Bridge.

[nicholas Harvey]

Hi,

Hugely frustrating that I can no longer click on Drobo (my box of hard drives/backups/archive) in folders in Bridge, and see the folders within. How can I see my archive folders which all live in Drobo? I used to click on Drobo and a list of the enclosed folders would drop down. No longer.

I often used to use bridge to rename images. I cannot even do that any more as I cant find the file. (Although not for here, when importing into Lightroom, I have to make about 10 more clicks to get to the right folder in Drobo as I found a workaround - top right corner, but very fiddly).

If anyone can help, that would be appreciated as my workflow has been severely disrupted...

Thanks,

Nick

I am having this same issue with my Drobo 5D in Lightroom (LrC on Mac Monterey 12.4). When importing I used to be able to click on the Drobo dropdown (under Source) and it would show all embedded folders and now it merely says no photos found. I can still drag and drop images using the Finder window, so it can clearly connet to folders within my Drobo.

There is also some funny business going on when trying to export an exisitng photo in my catalog. I get notifications that the photo cannot be found, but is right in the same Drobo directory that it has been for years (no file/directory structure change on my part). Very frustrating!

Actually, I found the elusive post I had been looking for: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-give-full-disk-access...

This seemed to work for me. I would give it a try (assuming you are a Mac user).
