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

What does the Move button do in Data Parking?

Short answer: Move makes the destination an exact match of the source, replacing anything there with the same name, then removes the original after checking the copy. It leaves no link behind; use Relocate if you need the original paths to keep working.

Move makes the destination match the source exactly: whatever was at the destination under the same name is replaced, and the original is removed once the copy is checked. No link is left behind — for that, use Relocate.

If Move would replace something that already exists at the destination, Storage Studio shows a confirmation listing what will be replaced and how many files, with the button labelled Move and replace. Anything replaced isn't kept anywhere — not in the Trash or the Recycle Vault — so cancel and use Merge if you want to keep both.
