Data Transfers · Privacy, safety and reporting
What does the Data Transfers row in the Services pane mean?
Short answer: Green means idle, green with a count means that many transfers are running, and yellow means something is waiting — a drive to reconnect or an account to sign in again. Open Data Transfers to see which.
The Services pane in Preferences shows the state of the engine that runs your transfers:
- Green — idle and ready.
- Green with a count — that many transfers are running now.
- Yellow — something is waiting, for example a transfer that needs your external drive, or an account that needs to sign in again.
If it's yellow, open Data Transfers to see which transfer is waiting and why.
