Re: (Solved) Urgent! Dropbox selective sync with voiceover
Oh yes, definitely, me too - grin! My comments were not intended to be anti-sighted help; it's just that often one of them can't be around when I need them.

Re: (Solved) Urgent! Dropbox selective sync with voiceover
For a long time I couldn't do that either even though I painstakingly followed all the instructions that were posted. Right now, though, vo-shift-space twice quickly is doing it for me and I don't try to line up the mouse cursor before I do it. > -- > Cheryl > I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. > I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! > Then God gave me a new heart and life: > His joy for my despairing tears! > And now, every day: > "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: > The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; > his mercies never come to an end; > they are new every morning; > great is your faithfulness." > (Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV) > On Jun 29, 2014, at 1:11 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > I can't even go into the dropbox menu in the extra menu. > For some reason it just don't work. > Using latest osx and i guess latest dropbox but am not sure. > /A >> 29 jun 2014 kl. 02:31 skrev Cheryl Homiak : >> >> You have to do this blind, but then what else is new - grin!

Re: (Solved) Urgent! Dropbox selective sync with voiceover
Huh... I had been working from the assumption that it would be necessary to mouse-click the folders checkboxes, no doubt a holdover from my windows days. It never occurred to me that pressing spacebar would do the checking/unchecking. That's great! Still though, having a sighted person in your life isn't so hard, or even so bad a thing.

Re: (Solved) Urgent! Dropbox selective sync with voiceover
You have to do this blind, but then what else is new - grin! First, if you haven't used selective sync, I think you assume all boxes are checked by default. First, open dropbox on the computer you want to change - the dropbox directory, that is. See if all folders are there. Take note of what you wish to uncheck or, if you have used selective sync before and have unchecked folders, what you want to check. Click on your dropbox icon in menu extras and click settings and account. For selective sync, do vo-space on change settings. Go to the browser, interact with it and turn on quick nav. Arrow down to each folder and, if you wish, arrow right and down to do subfolders. Don't try to use vo-space; just do space on the ones you want to change. You won't be able to tell what is checked or unchecked, but having checked your dropbox folder you will know what you want to change and can just do space accordingly on whatever needs to be changed. When done, do vo-space on the update button and then do vo-space on update again in response to the alert. Very soon, if not immediately, you should be able to go back to dropbox directory in finder and verify that your changes took place. One less job for your sighted friends and family! > -- > Cheryl > I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. > I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! > Then God gave me a new heart and life: > His joy for my despairing tears! > And now, every day: > "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: > The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; > his mercies never come to an end; > they are new every morning; > great is your faithfulness." > (Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV) > On Jun 28, 2014, at 6:31 PM, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > > Well that's just too bad because I do not have sighted assistance that can > run over here and help me whenever I would like to change something on my > computer.
