Check the storage connection
Whether the workspace's storage connection is live and when it last read anything.
A storage connection is workspace-wide. One account, one grant, one cursor through what has changed, set up once in settings.
A folder mapping is per project, because the folder a project keeps its documents in is a property of that project and of nothing else.
This page reports the half that is workspace-wide: whether the connection is live, and when it last read anything. It hands off to each project for the half that is not.
Why the dry run is not here
Pulling a workspace-wide root into whichever project happens to be first in a list is the wrong thing done confidently. The only dry run there is lives on a project's own sync page, where the folder and the register it files into are both known.
Who can
- Documents at view or better: anyone who can read documents.
How to
You open this when you need to know which storage account the workspace is reading.
- The connection hangs off Documents and belongs to the workspace rather than to any one deal.
- The workspace-wide half: which account is connected and when it was last read. Connecting one lives in Settings, under Document storage.
- The per-project half. A project that has chosen no folder reads the whole root, which is worth seeing as a list.
- A run still happens inside a project, on that project's own sync page, because the folder being read is the project's.
- Connect document storage, in Settings and billing, is the other half of this: the account, the library, and how much to trust it.

Known limits
Setting up a connection needs settings access. Without it this page reports the connection's state and offers nothing to change.
No customer storage account has been attached yet. Attaching one is the first thing to do in a new workspace: from then on every sync is planned against that library and applied only when somebody accepts the plan, and nothing is deleted by a sync.
