# What does "The cloud drive stopped — tap Repair to reconnect" mean?

Cloud Drive shows your accounts in Finder's sidebar as one location. That location stopped responding — often after sleep, a network change, or one account timing out — so Finder can't list it.

Click **Repair** (or **Remount / Repair**) where the message appears. Storage Studio reconnects the location without touching any files in your accounts. If one account keeps failing, check that it doesn't need signing in again in **Remotes & Accounts**.
