I had to get a new hard drive/motherboard just to get a new bad port on my MacBook Pro laptop.  I had no trouble with this external on previous hard drive but now it is showing as in the attached screenshot.  It shows in finder with all the folders/images.

This one is WD elements 10TB working in Finder not Bridge. These work in both finder & Bridge: G Drive & a  WD 5 TB. A screenshot of the one not working shows the person as "system".  The ones working show as "Nancy Abby (Me).  Screen shot included.  Hopefully I have included everything you will need. Thanks!

If you can access the files via the finder on the drive that's giving you the problems. If it's just Bridge, it's likely a Permissions issue.

Try heading into your Settings >> Privacy & Security >> Files & Folder (along with Full Disk Access.) You are going to have to poke around. This is a Bridge problem.

Sorry to bother you.  I fixed it!  I was just stumped because some worked and some didn't and assumed a setting on the external.  It was a "Mac" setting but why some worked and some didn't still doesn't make sense but adding it to privacy & security full access did the trick.  I'm not sure I'm going to survive this new hard drive.  Small glitches occurring every day!
