Where do files I park in a cloud account end up?

Short answer: In a folder named after your Mac inside that account, created the first time you use it in Data Parking. You can find it in Data Parking, the Storage Studio location in Finder's sidebar, or the provider's own app.

  • in Data Parking's right-hand pane,
  • in Finder, inside the Storage Studio location in the sidebar, under the account's folder, and
  • in the provider's own website or app.
