Web Videos now supports auto-generated Video Transcriptions + Closed Captioning
Hey folks! My name is Derrick and I work on a team that improves the file preview and viewing experience at Dropbox. We are excited to announce two features on Dropbox.com to enhance your video viewing experience: video transcriptions and closed captioning. Hereâs how to use: Simply upload your video to Dropbox and voila! Your videos will have auto-generated transcripts and closed captioning at your disposal with a click of a button. Even more so - watch videos shared from your colleagues - and copy transcribed segments to instantly quote them in a presentation. Tell me about your experience with our new features! We are all ears. Help Center Article URL: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/transcript-closed-captions
Whatâs new this spring
I donât know about you, but Iâm absolutely delighted to finally see spring taking itâs hold. If youâre anything like us Irish, this time of year marks a turning point, as the dark winter months are replaced by longer, brighter and warmer days. Flowers start to blossom, bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, and it nearly seems like the whole countryâs mood lifts. Itâs just a blooming great time of year! Weâve also got a lot to be happy about with Dropbox, too. So, hereâs whatâs new this spring. Publishing content to social media Weâre currently in the process of rolling out a feature that will allow you to publish content straight to social media from your Dropbox account. If youâve been using Dropbox for your social media content, youâll know that downloading - and re-uploading - videos and images can take up quite a bit of time so youâll be delighted to hear that you will no longer need to do this as you can now publish posts on Facebook and Instagram directly from your Dropbox account. Weâre also currently working on a function that will allow you to schedule posts directly from your Dropbox account and the ability to publish content to YouTube. Youâll need an Instagram for Business account and a linked Facebook account to be able to use these features. As this is currently being rolled out, this feature is not yet available to everyone. Youâll know if you can do it if you can see the âPublishâ button. If you canât see it, have a look at this thread to find out how to opt-in. Unlimited passwords Having somewhere to track and manage passwords these days is an integral part of life, otherwise youâre left trying to remember an ever growing and ever changing list of random words, not to mention the really hard bit of trying to remember which random word fits for which random account. With Dropbox Passwords, you donât need to worry about any of that, it will keep all your passwords, logins and card details up to date and fully synced across three devices. It will even autofill your passwords so they are as safe and securer as possible, but thatâs not even the best thing about Dropbox Passwords. So, what is the best thing about Dropbox Passwords? Well, that would be the fact that it is completely free and available to all Dropbox Basic account holders. So to boost your password security game and put your mind at ease, get started with Passwords now! Mobile search improvements If youâve been using the Dropbox mobile app, youâve probably noticed some improvements to our search functionality recently. If you havenât, and youâre interested in learning more, hereâs a very quick run down of whatâs new. To start with, weâve made the thumbnails that appear in your search results bigger, which makes it easier to identify the things that youâre looking for and means you donât need to strain your eyes looking at those tiny tiles anymore. Weâve also added a number of new parameters and filters to help you find what youâre looking for quicker. Your search results will now include âModified Datesâ and âFile Sizesâ. Weâve introduced âSnippetsâ for keyword matches within files and thereâs also the ability to filter your search based on âFile Typeâ or âModified Dateâ and you can now view search results in order of newest to oldest. You can find out more or leave some feedback on these changes on this thread. And finally Weâd also like to give an honorary mention to one other thing that isnât really Dropbox related but will have a huge impact on our lives over the coming weeks and months. That is, the sun. For those of you who donât know it, itâs the huge golden ball burning in the sky. We havenât seen much of it around these parts recently and weâre looking forward to seeing a lot more of it in the near future. We hope youâll also get to enjoy it and soak up some lovely vitamin-D! Just donât forget your sunscreen. If thereâs something else that youâre happy about now that spring is in the air, or just in general, weâd love to hear from you. So please let us know what youâre grateful for by leaving us a comment below!
