Do I need to install a provider's app to add its account in Storage Studio?
Short answer: No. Storage Studio connects to Google Drive, Dropbox, bucket storage, FTP and SFTP on its own — just sign in or enter the details in Add Account. A provider's own Mac app can stay installed alongside it.
No. Storage Studio connects to Google Drive, Dropbox, bucket storage, FTP and SFTP by itself — you don't need the provider's own Mac app. You just sign in or enter the server details in Cloud Accounts → Add Account.
If you already use a provider's own app (for example Google Drive for desktop), that's fine; the two don't interfere. The provider's app keeps its own synced folder, while Storage Studio talks to the account directly for transfers, backups and its own Finder location.
