# What does Remount / Repair do in the Mounting tab?

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**.
