CFexpress card reader not being recognized

Explorer ,
Jan 02, 2025 Jan 02, 2025

I have Lightroom Cloud and have not been able to download photos from my CFexpress card.  I have no problem with UHS-11 card readers but CFexpress does not come up on my "add photos".  I presently use windows 10.  Any suggestions?

You want to post in the Lightroom (Ecosystem) forum. You have posted in the Lightroom Classic forum, but your question is not about Lightroom Classic.

Says LIghtroom Ecosystem on the banner, not sure why it appears in the Classic.

Confused, your other card reader, a different format, allows you to Add in import?

Trying to Add in import should be blocked on either reader usage. 

'You can use the Add option when the photos are on a hard drive, you cannot when they are on a card.

This is by design.

 

/edit/followup/ Ohhh, my error, clearly Lr not LrC. So the above not exactly correct.

You might be looking in the wrong place. CFExpress cards are seen as removable disks by Windows and MacOS, so this card will not show in the usual 'Connected Devices', but among any other external drives. That means you may have to click 'Browse' (assuming this is the same on Windows, this screenshot is from a Mac).
