# Can several Macs move folders to the same external drive?

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.
