Moving folders · How moving folders works
Do moved folders still work if Storage Studio isn't running?

Yes. The links left behind are ordinary parts of your Mac's file system, so moved files open normally whether or not Storage Studio is running — all you need is the fast drive connected.
Storage Studio itself is only needed to make new moves, run your rules, keep auto-sync going, and move things back with one click. Even if you uninstall it, your files stay on the drive with links in place.
