Your Drive folders, translated in place.

Connect a folder and every file in it — plus any subfolder — becomes translatable. Rush Studio imports the source, translates it and drops the result straight back into Drive: same folder, formatting intact, nothing to download or re-import.

What it does

One folder in Drive, one project in Rush Studio.

Point us to a folder once. After that it behaves like any other source — except the files never leave Drive.

Connect a whole folder

Pick a folder and every file in it, across all subfolders, becomes translatable at once.

Two-way sync

Source files come in; finished translations go back to the same folder automatically.

Preserves formatting

Docs, Sheets, Slides and PDF come back with styles, tables and layout intact.

Watches for changes

Drop a new file into a watched folder and it is queued for translation, no click required.

Connect a folder, not a file

One folder in. Everything else follows.

No more zipping files or selecting them one by one. Connect a folder and Rush Studio maps everything in it — every subfolder, every supported file — into a single project. Add a file to that folder next week and it is picked up on the next sync, with nothing to configure.

Recursive by default
Subfolders follow automatically — the structure is preserved end to end.
Filter what is included
Scope by file type or name pattern to leave out drafts and archives.
Automatic pickup
New files in a watched folder are queued as soon as they arrive.

Connect Marketing and its 3 subfolders — 6 files — come with it. Files added later are picked up automatically.
Round-trip, not one-way

Translations come straight back to Drive.

When a translation is approved, Rush Studio writes it straight back to Drive next to the source — named by language, in the same folder, in the same format. Your team opens Drive and the localized files are simply there. No export, no re-import, no gap between systems.

Predictable naming
Outputs follow a pattern you define, e.g. file — de.docx, for clean sorting.
Version-aware
Re-translate after a source change and the output updates in place — no duplicates.
Permissions respected
Files inherit the folder's Drive sharing — we never widen access.

Supported formats

The file types you actually keep in Drive.

Native Google formats and the common office and document types — each round-trips with structure and styling preserved.

How it works

Connected in about three minutes.

1

Authorize with Google

Sign in with Google OAuth and grant access to the folders you choose — nothing more. Revoke any time from Drive or Rush Studio.

2

Pick folders and languages

Choose the folder to watch and the target languages. Set the output naming pattern and where translations should land.

3

Translate and re-sync

Files enter your queue, get translated and reviewed, and the final versions reappear in Drive on their own.

Permissions & security

Scoped access, and nothing you did not grant.

Rush Studio connects via Google OAuth and only touches the folders you select. Here is exactly what that means.

What we access
The folders you choose. Read source files and write back translations — only in the folders you connect.
File metadata. Names, types and modified dates, to know what changed and what to re-sync.
Your Google profile. Name and email, to attribute activity and send sync notifications.
What we never do
Touch other folders. Files outside the folders you connect are invisible to us.
Change sharing. We never widen who can see a file — outputs inherit the source permissions.
Delete your source. Rush Studio only adds translated files; your originals are never modified or deleted.
The details

How the sync behaves.

The specifics teams ask about before connecting a production folder.

Sync direction
Two-way. Source files are read; approved translations are written back to the same folder.
Sync trigger
New or changed files are detected within minutes of arriving in a watched folder. You can also run a manual re-sync any time.
Source changes
Editing a source file re-queues just that file. The existing output is updated in place — without duplicate "— de" copies piling up.
Conflict handling
If someone edits a translation directly in Drive, Rush Studio flags it and asks before overwriting — your manual edits are never lost silently.
Output location
The same folder as the source by default, named file — [language].ext. Optionally route outputs to a separate subfolder per language.
Authentication & revocation
Google OAuth 2.0. Disconnect from Rush Studio or revoke from your Google account any time; access stops immediately.
Questions

Google Drive, in plain terms.

Only transiently. Rush Studio reads a file to translate it and writes the result back; we do not keep a permanent copy of your source once the project is delivered.

Yes. Shared drives (Team Drives) are fully supported, and outputs inherit the shared drive's ownership and permissions.

The connection follows the folder by its Drive ID, so moving or renaming it in Drive does not break the sync.

Yes — that is the whole point of watching a folder. Any supported file dropped in later is queued automatically on the next sync.

Files are queued and translated in batches so a large folder does not flood your queue. You can pause, re-prioritize or scope by file type any time.

The folder is connected once at the workspace level, so your whole team shares a single synced project — no duplicate connections or conflicting outputs.
