A simple test

Take a few jpg photos and a video footage on GX85, take out the SD card and put it inside GX7, except 4K video that GX7 can't recognise it, GX7 should playback everything taken by GX85.

Do the same and should see GX85 can read all files taken by GX7.

It is because jpg is jpg, it is a digital files in forms of 1s and 0s according to the format of jpg. As long as your computer software used support jpg it can read it. Same for video.

AFAIK both cameras support the same SD card standard. i.e., FAT32 file system and I used USH-I SD card in both without problem (I share SD card among GX1/7/85 and GF3).

If my above test on changing SD cards between cameras stands, likely you need to find what's wrong with your computer. Might be a card reader problem (but strange to see no issue on reading. GX7's card). What is the software you used to copy/cut files in SD card and paste on computer? If you have a windows computer, might try using Windows explorer for the job.
