Moving folders · Data Parking (the two-pane mover)

\n

How do I change where Data Parking moves files to?

\n

Short answer: Use the destination menu in the right pane's toolbar: Fast drive, any connected cloud account, cloud folders on your Mac, or Choose any folder…. Fast drive is greyed out while the external drive isn't connected.

\n

Use the destination menu in the right pane's toolbar. It lists everywhere you can move to:

\n
  • Fast drive — your Mac's folder on the external drive (greyed out when the drive isn't connected).
  • Connected accounts — every cloud account you've added.
  • Folders on this Mac — installed cloud folders such as iCloud Drive.
  • Choose any folder… — anywhere else on disk.
  • Manage cloud accounts… — opens Remotes & Accounts.
  • Refresh destinations — picks up newly added accounts and folders.
\n

The first time you open a cloud account, Storage Studio creates a folder named after your Mac and lands you in it.
