Moving folders · How moving folders works

Can several Macs move folders to the same external drive?

Short answer: Yes. Storage Studio keeps each Mac's moved files in a folder named after that Mac, so several Macs can share one drive or one cloud account without their files mixing. Each Mac manages only its own moves.

Yes. Storage Studio keeps each Mac's moved and parked files in a folder named after that Mac, so several Macs can share one drive — or one cloud account — without their files mixing.

Each Mac only manages its own moves: the links on one Mac point into that Mac's folder. Remember that a moved folder is only reachable on the Mac it came from while the drive is plugged into that Mac.
