Getting started · First launch and Full Disk Access
How do I give Storage Studio Full Disk Access?
Short answer: Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access and switch Storage Studio on. The app notices within seconds, no restart needed. The Home banner and Settings → Permissions can take you there.
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access, find Storage Studio and turn its switch on. Storage Studio notices the change within a couple of seconds and carries on — no restart needed.
When the permission screen appears during first launch, System Settings opens to the right page for you. Later, you can start from:
- The Grant Access button on the Home screen banner.
- Settings → Permissions, which shows a green seal when it's granted and offers Show Storage Studio in Finder and Re-check buttons.
If Storage Studio isn't in the list, use the + button there and choose Storage Studio from your Applications folder.
