How do I pause automatic moves?
Short answer: Click Pause in the menu bar popover to stop automatic actions until you resume; your rules are kept. Stop Service halts everything automatic until you start it again. Files already moved stay moved either way.
Click Pause in the menu bar popover. Automatic actions stop and Storage Studio only does things when you ask; resume whenever you're ready. Your rules are kept either way.
For a full stop, Stop Service halts everything automatic until you click Start Service again. Files already on the fast drive stay there and links stay in place — nothing is lost.
If you just want Storage Studio to stay out of the way while you work, Quiet Hours already holds off automatic actions while you're active, on low battery or in a meeting.
