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

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.

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