# Will My Drive touch other files in my storage bucket?

No. Storage Studio only ever reads and writes under **one prefix** (a single top-level location) inside the bucket you name. Anything else in that bucket is left alone.

Removing the drive likewise only ever deletes inside that prefix, never elsewhere in the bucket.
