Finding things in Finder · Storage Studio in Finder's sidebar

Why isn't a file I just added from another device showing in the Storage Studio location yet?

Short answer: Give it about a minute — the location re-checks folders regularly rather than getting instant notice of changes made elsewhere. If it still looks stale, reopen the folder or use Remount / Repair in Cloud Accounts → Mounting.

Give it about a minute. The location doesn't get an instant notice from every cloud service when something changes elsewhere, so it re-checks folders regularly — a file added from another device, the provider's website or straight onto your drive normally appears within about a minute.

If it still looks stale:

  1. Close the folder in Finder and open it again.
  2. Use Remount / Repair in Cloud Accounts → Mounting.
