Do not see images and folders in import dialog for sd card or external ssd drive

[rajesh11]

Please Please help. 

I am unable to see images to import on my sd card and ssd external drive. It was working well last week, why all of a sudden its not working?
Please see attached screen capture-
LR import is on left notice nothing is showing for untitled which is my sd card, the same occurs when I select T7 Touch my ssd external drive.

On top right is the finder view of sd card and bottom right is ssd which is clearly showing files and folders

steps to reproduce:

1- Insert sd card 

2- Insert usb for ssd

3- Launch LR classic

4- Click File > Import Photos

5- Click to select the sd card and ssd

No images or folder are displaying in the import dialog. Expected behavior is to see files and folders thumbnails.

thank you

Did you upgrade MacOS by any chance? If so, make sure Lightroom has permissions to access removable volumes.
