Hi Brian,

I'm going to tell you real quick that no I don't use this program / service 
or whatever it's proper label is but, just so you know, drag & drop does not 
work worth a damn in Jaws!  LOL  LOL
Take care.
Mike

Mike & David,

          Thanks for the follow-ups.

          It's interesting to encounter a confusion on terminology because 
of switching between products.  I always try, no matter what product I'm 
tutoring on, to stick exclusively to the terminology they use in their 
documentation for object X.   It took me forever to call what all the rest 
of the world, including most web programmers, call a text box an edit field. 
I also get that different products use different terms for "the same 
things."

          Back to the subject at hand, I've never received an answer to my 
earlier questions regarding whether or not anyone has tried using Google 
Drive for Desktop, which is available for Windows or Mac, and can be 
downloaded from this Drive webpage?  I actually quite love it, because it 
creates what appears to be a regular folder named Google Drive on your 
desktop and in Windows Explorer/File Explorer.  You can just drag and drop 
files to and from this folder and it uploads, downloads, deletes, what have 
you those actions are actually synchronized to your Google Drive in the 
cloud.  You can create folders within it, too.  It's ultra convenient, if 
nothing else.  It's not of much use, though, if you want to access your 
Google Drive on a machine that's not your own, and you would still need to 
be able to navigate the Google Drive webpage then.

Brian
