Is Storage Studio a file manager like ForkLift or Path Finder?
Short answer: No. Data Parking's two panes look like a file manager, but it's focused on safely moving folders to your fast drive or a cloud account and back, with verified copies and a revertible log. Keep Finder or your file manager for everyday file handling.
No — it doesn't try to replace Finder or a full file manager. Its two-pane Data Parking window looks a little like one, but it's focused on one job: moving folders from your Mac to your fast drive or a cloud account (and back) safely, with sizes measured as you browse, verified copies, and a log of every move with Revert.
Full file managers offer much more general file handling — tabs, previews, batch renaming and so on. Storage Studio leaves that to Finder or the file manager you already like, and adds things they don't track: links left in place of moved folders, one-click move back, and a record that survives restarts.
You can keep using both. See Data Parking.
