# How do I check that a cloud account is still working?

Open **Cloud Accounts**, select the account in the list, and click **Test connection**. A green check means the sign-in works; a red message explains what went wrong.

It's worth testing right after you add an account and before you rely on it for a big transfer or a scheduled job. If the test fails, the error text can be copied with **Copy error** so you can search it or send it to support. Then fix the details with [Edit](https://storagestudio.us/faq/cloud-accounts/how-do-i-edit-a-cloud-account) or remove and re-add the account.
