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

How do I turn the Storage Studio location in Finder on or off?

Short answer: Open Cloud Accounts, go to the Mounting tab and use its switch. Turning it off only removes the Storage Studio location from Finder — your accounts, moved files and transfers are unaffected.

Open Cloud Accounts from the popover, go to the Mounting tab, and use its switch. Turning it off removes the Storage Studio location from Finder; turning it on brings it back.

The location is on by default, but it only appears once there's something to show — a connected account, a paired device, or your external drive's Home folder.

Turning it off doesn't affect your accounts, your moved files or Data Transfers; it only changes what's shown in Finder. You can also leave it on and hide individual accounts instead — see choosing what appears.
