Bridge & your devices · Managing paired devices
Why did Bridge stop when I changed Storage Studio's performance mode?
Short answer: Choosing Storage Studio's lightest, core-only performance mode stops Bridge on purpose; switch back to another mode and Bridge restarts with your paired devices. Short busy spells on your Mac don't drop the link.
Bridge is stopped only in Storage Studio's lightest, core-only performance mode — the one you choose deliberately to keep the app to its essentials. Leave that mode and Bridge starts again with your paired devices.
Brief moments when your Mac is very busy don't drop your Bridge links; only that deliberate core-only choice does.
