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

What does Remount / Repair do in the Mounting tab?

Short answer: It rebuilds the Storage Studio location from your current accounts and devices — handy after a network drop or if folders look wrong. It's safe: if nothing has changed, it leaves the working drive alone.

It rebuilds the Storage Studio location (or the fallback drive) from your current accounts and devices — useful after a network drop, or if folders look wrong or missing in Finder.

It's safe to click. If nothing about your accounts or devices has changed since the drive was built, it leaves the working drive alone rather than disturbing it for no reason. Accounts that are temporarily unreachable are skipped, so they don't hold up the rest.

You'll find it in Cloud Accounts → Mounting.
