# Can other users on my Mac use my connected cloud accounts?

Your accounts belong to your own macOS user. Another person who signs in to the Mac with their own user account doesn't get your connected accounts in their Storage Studio.

Anyone using your own logged-in user account can, of course, use the app as you. Lock your screen when you step away, and remove accounts you no longer need.
