Does Storage Studio look through my cloud accounts in the background?
Short answer: Only accounts you connected, and only to show you information on your Mac — such as usage and duplicates, using fingerprints the provider already keeps rather than downloading files. You can turn Auto-scan off per account.
Only accounts you've connected, and only to show you information on your Mac. For example, the Storage Profile reads each account's usage and file-type mix, and Duplicates compares the fingerprints the provider already keeps — so nothing is downloaded just to compare it.
That analysis is kept on your Mac. You can turn Auto-scan off for any account in the Duplicates window, or remove an account entirely in Remotes & Accounts.
