Bridge & your devices · Staying connected
What happens to a paired device's folders when it's offline?
Short answer: They're skipped until the device is back. Bridge folders live on the device itself, so while it's asleep or offline they aren't available on your Mac; everything else keeps working and the folders return when it reconnects.
They're skipped until the device is reachable again. A Bridge device's files live on the device itself, so while it's off, asleep or offline, its folder isn't available on your Mac — everything else in the Storage Studio location in Finder still works.
When the device comes back online with the Bridge app running, Bridge reconnects and its folders return. If you need files from it while you're away, copy them to your Mac while it's connected.
