Moving folders · Moving folders to a cloud account
Can Data Parking move folders to a cloud account instead of a drive?
Short answer: Yes. Choose a connected cloud account as the destination, pair, and Move or Merge upload through it into a folder named after your Mac. Relocate isn't offered, so the files leave your Mac; any file that fails is parked in Data Transfers to retry.
Yes. Pick a connected account from the right pane's destination menu, pair as usual, and Move or Merge upload through that account. Storage Studio creates a folder named after your Mac in the account the first time, so several Macs never mix files.
What's different from a drive:
- Relocate isn't offered — links can't point into a cloud account, so the files leave your Mac entirely.
- Several files upload at once, and the source pane clears file by file as each upload lands.
- If the network drops or an account needs signing in again, that file is parked in Data Transfers with a plain-English reason so you can retry it there.
You can close Data Parking and the uploads finish in the background. See data transfers.
