SD card doesn't show up under locations in Finder

Since I've updated to Big Sur my SD card won't show up in the left menu in Finder anymore. I can access it through other folders, but I miss the shortcut. Other USB drives do show up on the side. Does anyone know how I can the SD card back there? Thanks!

Mac Studio internal SD card reader. SD card mounted but does not apper on Desktop. Mac Studio, 1 week old. Internal SD card reader mounts the SD cards, are visible in Finder sidebar and within Disk Utility but unable to view them on the Desktop. I can use the same SD cards in a USB adapter and they show up on the Desktop just dandy. All Locations are checked in Finder Settings (includes External disks). Can obviously still access within the sidebar, but this just seems really weird. Surely there's either something I'm missing or a way to have these cards behave as it seems they should and appear as any other external disk on the Desktop.

External SD-cards not showing in Finder Since I've installed Big Sur, my SD-cards aren't showing up in Finder. I've done a PRAM and SMC reset and checked all the boxes in the Finder settings, but it won't work. Is there a solution for this? The only way I can access the cards is through the homescreen.

Same here!. A temporary workaround is to rename the SD card from the desktop (to anything other than Untitled), and then eject and reinsert the card. It will then show up in the sidebar.
