What does the Storage Studio setup wizard do?
Short answer: Four quick steps: a welcome, picking your external drive (or skipping), installing the small background service that starts at login, and a finish screen. It takes about a minute and everything can be changed later.
The setup wizard gets Storage Studio ready in about a minute, in four steps:
- Welcome — a quick explanation of what the app does.
- Pick your external drive — it lists connected drives so you can choose one, or skip if none is plugged in.
- Get everything ready — it installs the small background service that runs scheduled tasks and starts at login, with a progress bar for each step.
- All set — a pointer to the menu-bar icon and Help.
When you pick a drive, Storage Studio creates a small, tidy folder on it and marks the drive as yours, so it only ever manages the disk you chose. You can change everything later.
