Settings & keep-time · Services and self-healing
What is the Services section in Storage Studio's Settings?
Short answer: Settings → Services is a live health check: one row per background part of the app, each with a coloured dot and a plain-English status. It refreshes every 5 seconds while open.
Settings → Services is a live health check of every background part of Storage Studio, and the first place to look when something feels off. Each part has its own row with a coloured dot and a one-line status in plain English.
Rows are grouped into storage engines (the background service, your external drive, Free Up Space, Data Transfers and more), licensing and connections (your plan, license check-in, updates, cloud accounts), and system health (permissions, daily storage snapshots, activity reporting and the self-healing monitor).
The page refreshes every 5 seconds while it's open, and shows when it last refreshed. See what the green, yellow and red dots mean.
