Moving folders · Drive disconnects and interrupted moves
Why won't Storage Studio continue a move or revert on a different drive?
Short answer: Each move belongs to the specific drive it went to. Storage Studio recognises drives individually, not just by name, and won't continue or revert on a different one so two drives' files never get mixed. Reconnect the original drive.
Because the move was made to one particular drive, and writing into — or restoring from — a different one could mix up two drives' files. Storage Studio recognises each drive individually, not just by its name, and refuses to carry on if the one plugged in isn't the one the move started on.
Plug the original drive back in and the move or revert continues. If you've genuinely replaced the drive, move things back from the old drive first, then set up the new one.
