Dropbox is a free online file hosting service. Now you can upload your files to Dropbox and have it sync up with your CastingWords account. We can only view files that are in the special CastingWords folder. Your other files are not visible to us.
To take advantage of this service, you will need a Dropbox account and a CastingWords account. Sign up for Dropbox at dropbox.com. Sign up for a CastingWords account here if you don't have one already.
Login to your CastingWords account and start your order as usual by choosing a turnaround time. On the second step of the order process, where you usually upload a file or enter a URL, there is now also a Dropbox tab. Click on that.
We will step you through the one-time authorization process so that we can hook up your Dropbox account to your CastingWords account. Once you authorize us, Dropbox will create a folder called Apps/CastingWords. Drag and drop your files into this folder. Now you are almost done!
Go back to the Dropbox tab on the order page, and now you will be able to view your files and place your transcription order from there. At this time we do not automatically transcribe your files, but if you are interested in this, email us and let us know!
