Placing an Order for Transcription Using Cloud Services (Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive) Follow

How do I find the shareable URL for my file in the cloud?

To place an order for human transcription using files stored in a cloud service (Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, etc.,) visit https://www.rev.com/services/audio-transcription and click the purple Get Transcripts button. On the next page, click the purple Paste A URL button.

If you choose to paste a URL to place your order, the file might be living in a cloud storage site such as Dropbox or Google Drive. The URL in your browser may not work for us the same way it will for you, so use the instructions below to ensure you're sending us the correct "share" link. 

Dropbox

Google Drive

Box

OneDrive

Dropbox

Important Note: At this time, links to folders will not work with our site. You must paste the link to the individual file.

  1. Locate the file in your Dropbox account. Hover over the file and click the ellipsis menu (...) on the far right, then select Share from the dropdown list.

  2. At the bottom of the pop-up that appears, under Share a link instead, click Create link. This will generate a unique link for a third party like Rev to view your file.
