Where is Storage Studio after I open it?

Short answer: It lives in the menu bar at the top-right of your screen — click its icon to open it. It has no Dock icon by default; turn one on in Settings → Interface → Show Storage Studio in the Dock.

Storage Studio lives in the menu bar at the top-right of your screen, next to the battery, Wi-Fi and clock. Click its icon to open it.

By default it has no Dock icon, which is why it can seem as if nothing happened after launch. You can change that:

  • Settings → Interface → Show Storage Studio in the Dock keeps a Dock icon as well.
  • The Apps grid shortcut (⌃Space by default) also opens the app's Apps view from anywhere.

If you can't see the icon at all, your menu bar may be full — see The menu bar icon doesn't appear.
