When I plug in a bitlocker drive, My mac pops up a warning message and the drive name is not shown up in Finder sidebar. What I should do in order to copy content from BitLocker drive on my Mac?

You would need a third party tool like M3 bitlocker loader if you can't get access to a Windows PC to copy out the files to an unencrypted flash drive

Is this an encrypted BitLocker drive?
Now about how to open BitLocker drive?Recommend a few conventional methods to enable you to open the BitLocker drive,
BitLocker was developed by Microsoft,so one of the safest methods is to turn on BitLocker with the help of Windows OS on your Mac.
You are able to open BitLocker drive with Reformatting,you need to ask the Disk Utility app for help,but the disadvantage is that it may cause data loss on the device.
Share the last method,it will use a third-party tool to open BitLocker drive on Mac.
