# Where do moved folders go on the external drive?

Into Storage Studio's own folder for your Mac on the fast drive, set up when you first chose the drive. Each Mac gets its own folder, so several Macs can share one drive without mixing their files.

You don't need to go looking: in **What's Using Space**, click **Relocated (N)** to see everything that's been moved, and use the 📁 **Reveal in Finder** icon on a row to jump to the copy on the drive. Data Parking's right pane also starts in your Mac's folder on the fast drive.

Avoid rearranging or deleting things inside that folder by hand — the links on your Mac point to those exact places.
