Duplicate files · Duplicates in cloud accounts
Is removing a duplicate from a cloud account permanent?
Short answer: It depends on the service. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box keep removed copies in their own trash. Bucket storage, FTP and SFTP have none, so removal is permanent and you must type Delete to confirm. Storage Studio tells you which before you confirm.
It depends on the service, and Storage Studio tells you which before you confirm.
- Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box have their own trash. Removed copies go there, and you can restore them from the service's website or app.
- Amazon S3 and other bucket storage, FTP, SFTP and similar have no trash, so removal is permanent. For those you're asked to type Delete and click Delete permanently — a default click can never remove files for good.
Cloud removals don't go through Storage Studio's Recycle Vault, because the files never come to your Mac.
