Hello Jonathan,I never knew how to do this without going onto the Drop Box website itself. I too will give it a go tonight. I'm using Windows 7.Best, Clive -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Martha BurkeSent: 11 September 2014 13:14 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: dropbox folder help.I appreciate the origional question but as you had brought this in to it, I took you up on it as I know Mo to be excellent with IT and he advised me of the difficulties of this with a screen reader. I will do as you say and youcan let me know if you get the request. Will do that privately.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan H" <digitaltoast@xxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 1:00 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: dropbox folder help.On your PC, make a new folder within the Dropbox folder. Then, using the normal PC context menu, arrow down and select "invite to folder". On my setup, using NVDA and Firefox, it opens a new browser window with the focus ready in the box to type an email into. enter digitaltoast@xxxxxxxxx and tab twice to "send invite" and then I'll reply privately with the folder name if all went well! However, the original question related to created a dropbox folder to share some items with a person on this list. At least, that's how it's working here....

Sharing a folder is easy peasy for a sighted person but not so easy for a screen reader. If I want to share a folder with you, then why not let us try it,you tell me precicely what I need to do to share the same folder with youso it appears on your computer also? Then I will try it out and you can give me the name of the shared folder we have. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan H" <digitaltoast@xxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 12:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: dropbox folder help.I think there's a lot of confusion caused by a misunderstanding of what Dropbox is, or does, and how it works. If you can use folders on a computer, be it Windows, Mac or Linux, you can use dropbox as it simply extends the windows functionality. As Clive and Colin said, its most simple you can just get the context menu for an item in dropbox, and select "share this folder", and the link is automatically then in my clipboard for pasting in an email. You can also think of it as a tunnel, a conduit, between two PCs. If person B accepts person A's invitation to their dropbox folder, that folder will then automatically appear on their PC, and anything added or removed at either end will appear or change on the other PC. And that includes folders. 99% of the time, you don't even need to interact with or use the dropbox site or application - most stuff can be done from context menus. Simples. Capisce?
