How to Convert Audio files online using Google Drive
Last updated on October 3rd, 2023
Google Drive is no longer a web app which was used as a free web based alternative to Microsoft Office. Over the years many new features have made it more robust and the support from third-party app developers has made it a supercharged web app for performing functions as diverse as online file conversion.
If you didn’t know this already, you can now convert audio files directly from Google Drive. The conversion takes place between Google Drive and other third-part web apps so the conversion is lightening fast. Moreover, it saves you the hassle from installing audio converters on your desktop or mobile device.
1. CloudConvert
This is although a web app that you can use directly from the CloudConvert website, however, it also comes with Google Drive support. In fact, if you were to try and open an audio file from Google Drive, the suggested apps include CloudConvert. You can also use CloudConvert to convert YT to MP3.
All you have to do is to fetch your file from Google Drive, select a conversion format and you’re good to go. CloudConvert supports conversion between more than 200 file formats, including audio, video, PowerPoint, Excel, Word, PDF and a range of other formats.
