Google Drive

The HappyScribe Google Drive integration lets you import audio and video files directly from Google Drive for transcription. Connect via OAuth and browse your entire Drive — including My Drive, Shared with Me, and Shared Drives — with a familiar folder navigation experience. Smart pagination shows folders first, making it easy to locate files even in large Drive accounts.

How it works

Sign in with your Google account and HappyScribe gains read-only access to your Drive files. The file browser displays your folder hierarchy with smart pagination that prioritizes folders, so you can navigate quickly even with thousands of files. Select any audio or video file and HappyScribe imports it for transcription. The integration supports all major media formats stored in Google Drive, including MP3, MP4, WAV, MOV, and more.

Key capabilities

• Full Drive access — browse My Drive, Shared with Me, and Shared Drives from one interface
• Smart folder navigation — folders appear first with pagination for fast browsing in large accounts
• All media formats — import MP3, MP4, WAV, MOV, and other audio/video formats for transcription
• Read-only access — HappyScribe only reads your files; nothing is modified or deleted in Drive
• Shared Drives support — access team content in Google Workspace Shared Drives alongside personal files

Supported Drive locations

The integration provides unified access to all three Google Drive locations: My Drive for your personal files, Shared with Me for files others have shared, and Shared Drives for Google Workspace team content. This means you can transcribe media from any corner of your Drive ecosystem without downloading files to your local machine first.
