# Where can I use a cloud account once I've added it?

Everywhere you choose a source or destination. Once added, an account appears in **New Transfer** (as a source and a destination), in **Data Parking**, in **scheduled transfers**, as a destination in **Data Backup**, and inside the **Storage Studio** location in Finder.

You can transfer in any direction between any two places — your Mac to an account, one account to another, an account to your external drive. Transfers to or from a remote resume and retry automatically, so a short network drop doesn't lose progress.

See [Data Transfers](https://storagestudio.us/faq/data-transfers/), [backups](https://storagestudio.us/faq/backups/) and [Finder locations](https://storagestudio.us/faq/finder-location/).
