Can Storage Studio delete files in my cloud account?
Short answer: Only when you ask: moving files out of an account, syncing, deleting inside the Storage Studio Finder location, or removing duplicates you chose. Connecting, testing or removing an account never deletes anything.
Only when you ask it to. Files in a cloud account are changed or removed when you move files out of it, sync a folder so it matches another, delete a file inside the Storage Studio location in Finder, or remove duplicates you've chosen. Simply connecting an account, testing it or removing it from Storage Studio never deletes anything.
Because the Finder location is read-and-write, deleting a file there deletes it from the account. Where a provider has its own trash, items can usually be recovered from there. Choose copy when you want to be sure nothing at the source is touched.
