Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hello Jenny: Glad to hear that your shared folder is available to you ;). I know that is a relieve. Yes, selecting the advanced setup provides you with a few more options ... one of them being seeing the folders you create rather than simply the folders that come with the package out of the box :). If you want to send a link to share with someone you could: 1. focus upon the file or folder you wish to share. 2. Perform a VO + Shift + M keystroke to bring up the menu. 3. Arrow down until you here the dropbox option. 4. Press the right arrow key and then arrow down until you here copy public link. 5. Press enter. Now you can paste the link into an email and send it to whomever you like and they will be able to see it. Let us know if that proves helpful n any way. Take good care and I wish you enough.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hello Jenny: Hmm, are you performing the VO + shift + m on a file or folder which is contained within the original public or photo folder? Given the journey you have been on with the installation of this software (smile) operating from the shared folder might be uncertain if that is what is happening. If you have not done so already, try moving something not already in dropbox to the original public folder and see how that works. Also, I do not remember if you have an Iphone or not.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Jenny Wood, Dropbox is usable on the mac. Not entirely accessible, but it is now usable. If you downloaded the installer from dropbox.com recently, you will have noticed that at least the dropbox mac setup is now fully accessible. That was not the case a while ago, so that is a nice improvement. Second: why bother with the web interface. If you have more than one device that you want to use dropbox on, then the idea is simple. The dropbox website is your main place of storage. You can fill it with files, by having your mac dropbox client upload stuff to that space on the web. On your mac, inside your home folder, you have a new folder named dropbox. You can reach this folder by hitting command shift h for your home folder in finder. You will see documents, music and all your stuff there, plus this new dropbox folder. Go into it, and drop anything you want uploaded to the sight inside this home dropbox folder on your mac. The upload will happen automatically, without any other user intervention. A while later, you will find these files on the web in your dropbox account. Of course, dropbox will have to be running on the mac for this to happen. If you now install dropbox on a second device, say an iPod touch, an iPhone, or a windows computer, then all files in the dropbox space on the web will automatically be downloaded to the new device. All you need to do to make this happen, is install dropbox on the new device, and login with your account. To know if dropbox is running or not on your mac, you can check your users and groups item in system preferences. Go to the menu bar, vo m, go down to system preferences with vo down arrow, vo space on it, then move over to preference panes, and interact with that. Now go to users and groups. You can arrow around, or you can hit u s e in quick succession to have the vo cursor move to users and groups. Hit vo space to open this item. Then hit vo space on the login items tab. Move right, till you are on a list box with your programs that startup automatically each time you turn on your mac, and interact with the table. Look up and down and see if there is an item called dropbox. If you find it here, then you know that dropbox is always active from now on, and that the installation of dropbox succeeded. If you don't find it, you will have to redo the installation of dropbox, so that the dropbox item appears here. Once you have it in place, simply copy or move files into your home dropbox folder on the mac to have them uploaded to the web space. As soon as you synch your second device with the internet, all files you uploaded on the mac will appear there as well. If you delete something, doesn't matter from which device, it will also be deleted from all other drop boxed devices. You don't need the web interface at all, nor do you need to see the interface of your mac dropbox client. Just be sure that it is running, and if it's not, just start it from your applications folder, command shift a. If at some point you want to get rid of dropbox, simply remove the dropbox entry from your user and groups login items table, reboot your mac so that the dropbox process is no longer running, and then trash the dropbox app away from your applications folder Hth, Paul.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Paul. Thank you very much for the response! For some reason, I have never successfully setup dropbox on my mac, apparently. So, I scrapped all of the previous installation and installers, revisited dropbox.com and started fresh. This time, I did manage to make get through the setup process without a hitch. Dropbox is running, and my dropbox folder is created and ready for use. I think my only question at this point is, I still have a folder containing many files on the website. I would love to have them sync to my mac, or somehow retrieve them. They were placed there by another dropbox user who I had invited to access my new folder. However, I am unable to find a way to actually download them to my computer. As I say, dropbox is definitely running, but I don't see anything at all in the new dropbox folder.

Hello Jenny and all: I do not know how long it has been since you got dropbox installed and running. I had posted some photographs to my dropbox account and then installed it on another computer.

If you now install dropbox on a second device, say an iPod touch, an iPhone, or a windows computer, then all files in the dropbox space on the web will automatically be downloaded to the new device. All you need to do to make this happen, is install dropbox on the new device, and login with your account. To know if dropbox is running or not on your mac, you can check your users and groups item in system preferences. Go to the menu bar, vo m, go down to system preferences with vo down arrow, vo space on it, then move over to preference panes, and interact with that. Now go to users and groups. You can arrow around, or you can hit u s e in quick succession to have the vo cursor move to users and groups. Hit vo space to open this item. Then hit vo space on the login items tab. Move right, till you are on a list box with your programs that startup automatically each time you turn on your mac, and interact with the table. Look up and down and see if there is an item called dropbox. If you find it here, then you know that dropbox is always active from now on, and that the installation of dropbox succeeded. If you don't find it, you will have to redo the installation of dropbox, so that the dropbox item appears here. Once you have it in place,

Hello Jenny and all: Ah, that is what I was wanting to know. That shared folder may not appear out of the box given how your friend set it up. However, if you or your friend could move those items into either the public folder or the photos folder (operating from the premise that the items are photographs), you ought to be able to see them then. If you want to have a little bit of fun and you own an iphone ... grab the app. It is free and may provide you with another perspective on the functionality of dropbox.

The reason I created the shared folder on the website itself, rather than on my own machine, is because from what I understand, there isn't a very voiceover-friendly way of accessing certain options, such as inviting someone to have access to a given folder or sending a link to someone for a specific file.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Jenny, You don't need to do anything via the website any more. Focus on your /home/dropbox folder on your mac. To move files from one folder inside your dropbox to another folder in dropbox, just use finder as usual. The dropbox app will notice what you are doing, and reflect the file move immediately, and automagically, to the website. Just forget about the website. Now you can do anything from your mac to your dropbox. You can even move files into and out of your dropbox. Move something in, and the running dropbox app will notice it, upload it and that's that. All other connected devices will then synch and receive what you moved into your dropbox. Move something out of your dropbox, and the running mac dropbox app wil notice it, and delete the stuff you moved out of your dropbox from all connected devices as well. To invite other people, it is possible and sometimes desirable to use the website. Hth, Paul.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hello Jenny and all: When installing dropbox you have the option of using the regular or advanced setup options. The regular setup options provide you with the public and photo folders at the completion of the installation. The advanced options provide you with a list of folders dropbox may point to which you establish. I have not played much with the advanced option though it is my guess that your shared folder was not designated to be seen upon initial setup and you used the regular setup when you did it. Please correct me if I am wrong. As for a way to send links ... here is an experiment. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41895723/100_3978.MOV This is a video I took while at the US Open. It is about 90 seconds long and it ought to play in quicktime. There is no objectionable material contained within the video so children do not need to be urged to leave the room.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Paul! Well, now that dropbox appears to be installed correctly, I will most definitely rely primarily on the dropbox folder on my mac. The only issue I am having currently, is retrieving files shared from a friend to the folder I created on the web. That folder doesn't show up on my mac for whatever reason. So, as a tedious work-around, I am downloading each individual file to my downloads folder, then moving them to the desired location. Mind you, these are files that were never on my own mac before, but rather shared from a friend. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Sep 27, 2011, at 1:37 PM, Paul Erkens wrote: Hi Jenny, You don't need to do anything via the website any more.

Re: Downloading folders from dropbox website
Hi Patrick, Paul all. Okay, so I don't know exactly what happened, but after having removed and reinstalled the dropbox desktop app a number of times, my newly created shared folder and all of it's contents are suddenly showing up! I am completely beside myself here, thrilled, but baffled. The only difference in the process this time was selecting the Advanced setup verses the Typical setup, and having killed off the previous link to my account and recreating it. It didn't prompt me for any additional information after having chosen Advanced setup though. Interesting. So, I was able to view, or rather, listen, to your video with no problem. That's really my only other big hangup about using the desktop app, although the website is just as unaccessible, I am still not sure how I will go about sending a public link when the time comes.

Downloading folders from dropbox website
Good day all. I have just started playing with dropbox, so I am very new to this particular service. I understand that there are all kinds of accessibility issues with dropbox on Lion, but I am curious, if there is a way to download an entire folder from the website interface without sight? The instructions are most definitely geared toward the sighted, and I haven't been able to find a work around as of yet. I can manage to download individual files, but going about it this way will take an eternity I'm sure. As expected, I haven't been able to make heads or tails of the desktop app. I am running Lion, btw, with the latest updates.
