# What can I do by right-clicking the Storage Studio menu bar icon?

Right-click (or Control-click) the menu-bar icon for a quick menu:

- **Settings…** — opens Settings.
- **Eject "[drive name]"** — safely ejects your external drive, after asking you to confirm, since moved folders and apps aren't reachable until you plug it back in.
- **Restart Storage Studio**
- **Quit Storage Studio**
- **About Storage Studio** — version and publisher details.

A normal left-click opens the app as usual.
