Moving folders · Moving from What's Using Space

What does the move progress sheet show, and can I hide it?

Short answer: It shows the move's status, a live bar with amount copied, speed, time left and file count, plus a step-by-step log. Hide keeps the move running — the row shows a Moving… pill you can click to bring the sheet back.

It shows the move's status ("Moving to fast drive…", "Move complete" or "Move failed"), a live stats bar with how much has transferred, the speed, the estimated time left and the file count, and a log naming each step and each file as it transfers.

Click Hide to keep the move running out of sight; the folder's row shows a Moving… pill, and clicking it brings the sheet back. Cancel stops the move while it's running. If you quit and relaunch mid-move, Storage Studio re-attaches to it automatically.

When it can't estimate the time yet, it says so rather than showing a number it would have to take back.
