Finding things in Finder · When the drive isn't connected
Why is Show in Finder greyed out in Storage Studio?
Short answer: Your external drive isn't connected, or Storage Studio can't confirm it's your prepared drive. Plug it in or click Remount fast drive; once Inspect fast drive reads Verified, Show in Finder works again.
Because your external drive isn't connected (or Storage Studio can't confirm it's your prepared drive). Show in Finder opens the drive, so there's nothing to show without it. The popover header turns red and says the fast drive isn't mounted.
To fix it:
- Plug the drive in, or check its cable.
- If it's connected but not showing, click Remount fast drive in the popover.
- Open Inspect fast drive to confirm the verdict reads Verified.
Once the drive is recognised, Show in Finder and Eject fast drive become available again.
