# Can I close Data Parking while files are still moving?

Yes. Moves are background jobs, so closing the window doesn't stop them. Cloud uploads in particular finish in the background — check **More → Data Transfers** any time to see them.

If you quit Storage Studio itself in the middle of a move, it picks the move back up when it relaunches; your originals are never removed until a copy has been checked.
