Why does Storage Studio ask to send notifications, and what will it tell me?
Short answer: To tell you about drives connecting, low disk space, ejects, support replies and finished tidy-ups. Each notification shows once and clears when no longer relevant, and success notices after every run are off by default.
So it can tell you things worth knowing while it works in the background: your external drive disconnecting or reconnecting, your built-in disk running low, an eject succeeding or a file still being in use, a support reply, or a scheduled tidy-up finishing.
Each notification is shown once and disappears when it's no longer relevant, so Notification Centre mirrors the in-app bell rather than piling up. Success notices after every automatic run are off by default; turn them on in Settings → Notifications. See Notifications.
