Finding things in Finder · Storage Studio in Finder's sidebar
What's the difference between the Storage Studio location in Finder and Data Parking?
Short answer: The Finder location is for using cloud accounts like folders — browse, open, edit, drop in files. Data Parking is for moving things off your Mac safely, with sizes, verified copies, shortcuts, progress and a moves log.
The Finder location is for using your cloud accounts like folders: browse, open, edit and drop in files, with downloads on demand.
Data Parking is for moving things off your Mac: a two-pane window with your Mac on one side and your fast drive or a cloud account on the other. It measures folder sizes, verifies each copy before removing the original, can leave shortcuts behind on your external drive moves, shows per-item progress, and keeps a moves log with Revert.
Rule of thumb: to free space safely, use Data Parking; to work with files already in an account, use Finder.
