Moving folders · Moving specific folders

Can I move a folder that's already a link to the fast drive?

Short answer: Data Parking's loop detection stops it copying a file onto its own link, which would otherwise destroy the data the link points to; links in a selection are skipped. To re-arrange, move the folder back first, then move it again.

Storage Studio protects you from moving something onto itself. Data Parking has loop detection, so it won't copy a file onto its own link — which would otherwise destroy the very data the link points to. Links that are already in a selection are skipped rather than moved.

If you want to change where something lives on the drive, move it back first, then move it again to the new place. See Can I undo a folder move?
