# What does "Your storage was rebuilt, but this Mac couldn't reconnect to it yet" mean?

The rebuild worked — your storage is in place — but this Mac hasn't finished reconnecting to it yet. That usually just takes a moment.

Wait a little, then press **Refresh**. If it also says some starting folders couldn't be made, run **Recreate anything missing…** once more; it only adds what's still missing.
