How does the "Activate Storage Studio" button in my email work?

\n

Short answer: Click it and the app opens (or comes forward) and activates itself, then shows You're all set. The link is single-use and expires after a short while.

\n

Click it and Storage Studio activates itself — no copying codes. If the app is open, it comes to the front and activates; if it's closed, the button opens it and it activates as it launches; if it isn't installed yet, the page offers the download first, then you click the button again.
