Delta Drive, Delta Trust & My Drive · My Drive — storage you own
What happens when I switch off Delta Drive or My Drive?
Short answer: Switch off asks first and deletes nothing — files, folders and settings stay as they are, and an Undo appears straight after. Nothing opens until you choose Reconnect, which needs nothing set up again.
Nothing is deleted. On the Storage screen, Switch off followed by the drive's name asks first: "Files stay where they are, but nothing will open on this Mac, in Finder or on the web until you reconnect it." Right after, a notice offers Undo — reconnect in case you didn't mean it.
While it's off, syncing pauses and no background work touches it. The window opens on Your drive is switched off, listing every drive that can come back, each with its own Reconnect button — the one you were using first. Reconnecting needs nothing set up again. Your Delta Trust backups are separate and unaffected.
