Why did Data Parking jump to a cloud account when my fast drive isn't connected?

\n

Short answer: With the fast drive unplugged, that shortcut opens your first cloud account instead. Pick another place from the destination menu, or connect the drive.

\n

The fast-drive shortcut normally opens your external drive. When the drive isn't connected, there's nothing to show there, so it opens your first connected cloud account instead.

\n

Use the destination menu to choose a different place, or connect your drive and choose it again.
