# Can I switch between Delta Drive and My Drive?

Yes. Your **active drive** — Delta Drive or a My Drive on storage you own — is the one your Macs, Finder and the website use. To change it, click **Viewing:** at the top of the Delta Drive window and choose **Make** *drive* **my active drive…**, or use **Storage**. It always asks first, then pauses work on the old drive, connects, updates Finder and loads your files; if any step fails, the whole switch is undone.

Switching copies nothing and loses nothing. Each drive keeps its own files, search, settings and history, and switching back finds everything as you left it. Your synced and linked folders, and your other Macs, follow the active drive.
