What is Dropbox?
Dropbox transcription lets you paste a shared file link for audio or video you are allowed to process. InstantTranscriber converts the shared link into a direct download, fetches the media, and runs the normal transcription workflow.
Transcription quick facts

Import a public file or track link directly when the source allows access.
Best use cases
