# What is the Storage Profile in Storage Studio?

The Storage Profile is one long screen that shows your Mac's "storage DNA": who this Mac is, what you actually work on, and where everything lives. It includes:

- a persona with a short story and a suggested next step from Tuhi,
- **What you actually work on** — your recently opened files,
- **Your storage over time** charts,
- **What's stored** by category and **Where it lives** across Mac, drive and cloud,
- **Connected cloud accounts**, **Biggest space-users** and **Suggestions**,
- Storage Studio's own footprint.

Everything is measured on your Mac. Open it from **More ••• → Storage Profile** or the Storage Profile card on Home. See [the personas](https://storagestudio.us/faq/freeing-space/what-do-the-storage-profile-personas-mean).
