Moving folders · Safety and verification
Is it safe to let Storage Studio move my folders?
Short answer: Yes. Your original is never removed until the copy has been checked; a failed move cleans up only its incomplete copy; busy folders are held; and every move is recorded so it can be reversed with one click.
Yes — it's built so your original is never removed until the copy has been checked. If anything goes wrong partway, the original stays exactly where it was.
The safety steps:
- A check that the copy is complete before the original is touched.
- Automatic clean-up of an incomplete copy if a move fails — never of your original.
- A hold on folders an app is still writing to.
- Moves that wait for the drive and resume if it disconnects.
- A record of every move, so it can be moved back with one click.
Cancelling a move at any point is safe. The one action that can't be undone is choosing to replace something already at the destination — Storage Studio warns you before that.
