Moving folders · Moving folders back

Can I move a folder back while the fast drive is unplugged?

Short answer: No. The files live on the fast drive, so Storage Studio needs it connected to bring them back. It tells you the copy isn't reachable and changes nothing; plug the same drive in and try again.

No — the files are on the fast drive, so there's nothing to bring back until it's connected. Storage Studio says so plainly ("The copy on your drive isn't reachable right now. Connect the drive and try again — nothing was changed.") rather than leaving anything half-done.

Plug the drive in, wait for Storage Studio to see it, and try again. It also checks it's the same drive the folder went to, so it never mixes up two drives.
