What happens when I quit or restart Storage Studio?
Short answer: Quit and Restart both stop work at a safe point and close the app's own helpers. An update being installed and the scheduled background service are deliberately left running.
Right-click the menu bar icon for Restart Storage Studio and Quit Storage Studio. Both run the same tidy shutdown: anything in progress stops at a safe point, and the app's own helpers — for transfers, backups and device connections — are asked to finish and then closed, rather than left running.
Two things are deliberately left alone: the helper that brings the app back after a restart, and an update that's being installed. The scheduled background service also keeps running by design.
