No previous message | Next message →

Hi all. We are looking into getting Dropbox for our campus. I'll be doing my testing, but I was hoping folks had accessibility comments or done accessibility testing on the DropBox web and desktop application? Are there any special barriers we need to be aware of?

Thanks.

Hi Joseph,

I use the Dropbox desktop application without any accessibility issues at
all. It's just like using Windows directories. The only point to note is
that screenreader users may find it difficult to turn off the notification
that is voiced when anyone else changes a file in a folder they share. I
managed to do this on my Windows 7 machine but can't find a way to do it in
Windows 10, so have to hear JAWS detailing changes each time others save a
file, which is distracting.

HTH,

Bim
