Dropbox

The HappyScribe Dropbox integration provides seamless file import from Dropbox for transcription. Connect your Dropbox account via OAuth and browse your folder structure to find audio and video files. The integration supports both personal and Dropbox Business accounts, with automatic root namespace resolution for Business users.

How it works

Authenticate with Dropbox and HappyScribe presents your folder hierarchy for browsing. Navigate to the file you need, select it, and the integration generates a temporary secure download link to import the file for transcription. For Dropbox Business accounts, the integration automatically resolves the correct root namespace so you see the right files regardless of how your organization has configured folder access.

Key capabilities

• Folder browsing — navigate your Dropbox folder structure to find files quickly
• Personal and Business accounts — works with both Dropbox Personal and Dropbox Business with auto namespace resolution
• Secure file transfer — files are imported via temporary download links that expire after use
• All file types — import any audio or video file format supported by HappyScribe
• No local download needed — files go straight from Dropbox to HappyScribe without touching your machine

Dropbox Business support

If you use Dropbox Business, the integration automatically handles root namespace resolution — a technical requirement for accessing files in Business team folders. This means you see your files exactly as they appear in Dropbox, regardless of your organization's folder structure. No special configuration is needed; it works out of the box for both personal and Business accounts.
