USB sticks and SDs card no longer automatically show under my Devices in the Places panel. I think I might have dragged and dropped something and they simply stopped appearing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Go check your settings in System Settings -> Hardware - Removable Storage -> Removable Devices
These are my settings:

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Right click an empty space in the places side bar. Make sure "show removable" is ticked.

Thanks to both of you.

This helped me get the answer. I had accidentally hidden removable devices. To make them visible again, insert a removable device, then right-click on Devices, click Show Hidden Places. The removable device will appear under Removable Devices. Then right-click on the device and de-select Hide Section 'Removable Devices."

I figured as much. Btw, if you should use a google drive entry ( I don't recommend it btw. Use an ssb), there seems to be some kind of bug. If you have the drive entry displayed ( under network or whatever it's called), you can't hide other sections ( in plasma 5.22 that is). No biggie, just saying.
