The problem it solves

You dread setting up the same folder structure every time a new client or project starts. Renaming and organizing subfolders by hand wastes time, and it's easy to miss a step or use inconsistent names.

Who it fits

An agency, consultant, or service business that sets up a new folder structure for every client or project.

How it works

You fill out a short form with the client or project name
The system creates a new main folder in Google Drive
A script duplicates your entire template folder structure inside it
Every placeholder in the file and folder names is replaced with the name you entered
