Enhancement: Now that Google Drive integration is supported for export, would it be possible to open files from that source, for users who want to make the connection:

Open audio files from Drive, which could be cached locally if needed
Open OTR files from Drive, as a way of importing them
Mark OTR files as "belonging to" oTranscribe, so that clicking on an OTR in the Drive web app has the option of opening oTranscribe automatically

I've had this idea myself. Would be a great addition. But I haven't had time to attempt to implement it.

Just as a reference, there is a google file picker library https://developers.google.com/picker/
