Before You Paste a Dropbox Link
Three settings that stop a Dropbox link from working.
Password
Remove link passwords
A password-protected or expired link can’t be fetched. Create a plain share link for the transcript.
File link
Share the file, not the folder
Folder links don’t point to a single recording. Paste one file link per line for several files.
Team rules
Check your admin’s link settings
Team admins can limit who opens shared links. If the link only works for team members, download and upload the file.
