Opening cloud projects from Trados Studio
To start working on existing cloud projects, first download the projects from your cloud account to make them available in Trados Studio.
Before you begin
- You have a cloud account with a role that enables you to access and work with cloud projects and resources.
- You are familiar with cloud projects and resources. For more information, see Working with cloud projects.
- You are logged in to the appropriate cloud account from Trados Studio.
About this task
When you sign in to your cloud account from Trados Studio, you can see all the cloud accounts linked to your cloud credentialsemail address.
By default, Trados Studio populates the Projects view with the projects available for you on all of these accounts. To display only the projects for a specific account instead, select the account on which you want to work, and enable Show projects for this account only.
Procedure
Release accepted tasks
If you change your mind about working on an accepted task, you can release it at any time by clicking Release Task on the Home tab, or in the context menu. Released tasks are automatically sent back to the default assignees. If you are using Trados Studio's built in cloud capabilities, released tasks are automatically reassigned to you, as you are the only user in your cloud account.
Download location for your cloud projects
By default, cloud projects that you download from your cloud account are stored locally on your computer under C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Studio <version number>\Projects. To change this location, go to and specify a custom location under Download path for cloud projects.
Make sure that your download location uses a shallow folder structure and short folder names. This avoid creating project paths that exceed the Windows path length limit of 260 characters.
If a cloud project cannot be downloaded because the path of any of its files would exceed the path length limit, Trados Studio notifies you to change the default download location for all cloud projects. If newly added cloud project files cannot be downloaded because they would exceed the maximum file path length, Trados Studio notifies you to change the download location for that specific project instead.
