Moving folders · Rules and Auto Rules

How do I change how old files must be before a rule moves them?

Short answer: Open Settings → Rules and edit the age field on the rule; it saves as soon as you click away. The floor sliders under Global overrides set a minimum age for every rule and can only raise it, never lower it.

Open Settings → Rules (or the Open Rule Editor link). Every active rule has an inline age field — type a new value and it saves the moment you click away; Storage Studio picks up the new threshold shortly after.

Under Global overrides, two floor sliders set a minimum age for all rules. They can only ever raise the age, never lower it, so nothing brand-new is moved by accident.

Auto Rules have their own section in the same editor where you can fine-tune how old something must be before it's cleaned.
