Can I use Storage Studio offline?
Short answer: Yes. Space clean-ups, moves, Junk Yard and Tuhi work offline. You need a connection to start the trial, activate, use cloud transfers and check for updates; a verified licence keeps working offline for about two weeks.
Yes. Freeing space, moving apps and folders, reclaiming snapshots, Junk Yard and Tuhi all work without an internet connection.
You need to be online for a few things: starting the free trial (the verification code arrives by email), activating a licence, transfers to cloud accounts, and checking for updates.
Once your licence has checked in successfully, it keeps working offline for a grace period of about two weeks. After that a single quiet notice appears at the top of the popover — no pop-ups and no locked features — until you're back online.
