Can't access SD card files despite it appearing in Disks

When I plug any SD card, or a microSD card reader into my computer, nothing shows up in Caja and this is what I see in disks:


I cannot image microSD's for RPi use, nor can I transfer files using a regular SD card. I also don't believe the SD reader is damaged as before I was running MATE it worked fine and now that I've switched it doesn't.

There was a very similar post about this for a USB SD card reader on the RPi, and the same issue was occurring. See here: How do I see a SD card in my USB reader plugged into USB

I figured I'd start a new thread since it's slightly different hardware and not the RPi version of MATE.
