# Why is there no eject button next to Storage Studio in Finder, and do I need to install anything for it?

Because it isn't a mounted disk — it's a built-in Finder location, like iCloud Drive or Dropbox, which don't have eject buttons either. Nothing extra needs installing; it comes with Storage Studio.

To make it go away, either turn it off in **Cloud Accounts → Mounting**, or quit Storage Studio, which removes it until you open the app again.

The only exception is the fallback drive Storage Studio uses if the location can't start — see [the fallback drive](https://storagestudio.us/faq/finder-location/what-is-the-storage-studio-fallback-drive).
