It sounds like you've not given Bridge permission for Apple's protection. Simply put, this is an Apple protection issue, not Adobe's. You may have given PS these settings, you have to do it for each application.
Go into System Preferences and select the Privacy & Security tab on the left. Note that there are two options on the right you'll need to deal with: "Files and Folders," and "Full Disk Access."

First, going into Files and Folders, note that in various years of different releases of Adobe Bridge, different needs are needed. I do not know why this is, but it's always better to check and make sure that just because you did it for one release, you may or may not need it for a subsequent release.
Lastly, go into the Full Disk Access option. If you do not see your application in the list, click on the "+" symbol at the very bottom of the window. This will bring up a standard Finder window. Navigate to your Applications Folder, find Adobe Bridge, and add it to the list (You will need to add your Administrator's password to do this.). Then you can "switch" it to the "ON" position.
Please let us know if this works or not.
Hi, @laszlost, if you did all that and it didn't work, I can think of one thing, with one backup. Please try and reset Bridge's Preferences
Quit Bridge if Open. Just before clicking on Bridge in the Dock or double-clicking the application for the Mac, press Command-Option-Shift. For PCs, press Control-Alt-Shift. Then open Bridge, BUT KEEP your fingers on those keys until you see a window pop up. From the window, the options are: “Reset Preferences" and "Purge All Local Cache Files.” In your case, check both of them.
If that doesn't work, please return to Apple's Privacy and Security controls. Here's the Sequoia views:
(The application here shows Acrobat; the same activity goes for Bridge..) Go to your Mac's Settings, and search for "security." That will get you to the settings that Apple uses to let you bypass their default "vault" protection. (This is a good thing.)
Starting off, you see this, note I have three things marked out.
Starting from the 2nd, Full Disk Access, if you select that, you'll see all of the applications that have been granted Full Disk Access. If you see Acrobat but it is not turned on, click on the switch on the far right side. If you do not see Acrobat, click on the "+" symbol on the bottom, locate Acrobat to add it, then turn on the switch.
Next go to Accessibility, same conditions as above.
Lastly, go to Files & Folders, this should already be set but depending on where it's located (such as a server), you may have to set this as well.
Again, all of the above may have already been done by you, but it's wise to check.
