Bridge & your devices · Staying connected
Does Bridge keep running when I quit Storage Studio?
Short answer: No. On the Mac, quitting Storage Studio closes the Bridge link; devices reconnect when you reopen it. On a PC, the Bridge app keeps sharing from the system tray until you choose Quit.
No. On the Mac, Bridge is part of Storage Studio, so quitting Storage Studio closes the link to your devices and stops sharing. When you open Storage Studio again, paired devices reconnect on their own.
On a Windows PC it's different: the Bridge app lives in the system tray, so closing its window keeps it sharing in the background. Use its power button and Quit to stop it fully.
