# Where on my external drive does Data Parking put the folders I move?

In your Mac's own folder on the fast drive, which is where Data Parking's right-hand pane starts when the drive is connected.

When you **Pair** the two panes, whatever you move keeps its place in the folder tree. Pair at your Projects folder, drill down a few levels and move a subfolder, and it lands at the matching spot on the drive — any missing folders along the way are created for you.

To see the result, right-click the item in the right pane and choose **Reveal in Finder**.
