# Why can't Finder show Delta Drive?

The Finder location for Delta Drive is switched off, so it isn't in your sidebar. Turning it off never deletes anything — your files are untouched in Delta Drive and still reachable on the web.

Turn it back on in **Data Transfers** and it reappears in Finder's sidebar.
