How to edit an audio file from Google Drive

By Sodaphonic · Updated

Download a recording from Google Drive, edit it in Sodaphonic, and upload the finished copy. A workflow that does not require a Drive connection.

Steps

  1. In Google Drive, download the audio file to your device. Make sure you have permission to download and edit it.

  2. Open Sodaphonic’s audio editor and choose File → Open. Select the downloaded recording.

  3. Edit and preview the recording, then choose File → Export to download an MP3 or WAV.

  4. Upload the finished copy to Drive. Use a new filename so the original remains available.

Tips and examples

A Drive sharing URL is a link to a page, not an audio file. Download the actual file before opening it. If your school or organisation disables downloads, ask the owner for an approved way to obtain a copy.

Browser support varies by audio format. If the file will not open, try converting a copy to WAV or MP3 with the converter.
