Do I need to restart my Mac after installing Storage Studio?
Short answer: No. Storage Studio is ready when setup finishes, and it picks up Full Disk Access within seconds without relaunching. The background service starts during setup and at every login after that.
No. Storage Studio is ready as soon as setup finishes. Granting Full Disk Access doesn't need a restart either — the app notices the change within a couple of seconds and carries on.
The background service starts during setup and then automatically at every login, so there's nothing to reboot for. Restart your Mac only if you're troubleshooting a service that won't start.
