Settings & keep-time · Permissions, consent and legal

What does the Permissions section in Storage Studio's Settings show?

Short answer: It lists the macOS permissions Storage Studio uses — Full Disk Access and Notifications — with why each is needed, whether it's granted, an Open Settings button and a Re-check button.

Settings → Permissions lists the macOS permissions Storage Studio uses, each with why it needs it and whether it's granted right now:

  • Full Disk Access — lets it read protected folders to plan and run moves and to scan what's using space.
  • Notifications — lets it tell you when background actions have run.

Each row has an Open Settings button that jumps to the right place in System Settings, and Re-check refreshes the list after you change something. The app asks only for what each feature needs.
