RE: changes in drop box
Hi Rod, I always viewed the drop box folder using the arrow keys. That view no longer works for me. I have to use the numpad arrow keys to view the drop box folder. I am unable to paste any files in drop box, even though I have selected a sub folder. I can't open the folders either.They changed the interface. I was able to arrow down press enter on a folder and either copy or paste in a folder or file. I can't do that any more.

RE: changes in drop box
Hi John, I'm sorry but we don't seem to be on the same page. Let's try to go slowly in order to diagnose this problem. Do you have an icon called DropBox on your desktop? If you press Enter on this icon, it should open the DropBox folder which should display exactly like any other folder on your system.

RE: changes in drop box
Hi Rod, Sorry but it doesn;'t do as on the tin. Smile When I open drop box. The page is blank. The only way I can read anything is use the arrow keys on the numpad. Tabbing doesn't work either. To select a named folder I use the arrow keys on the numpadto first select a named folder. Then the arrow ke to the right of control. Those keys don't speak but the named folder changes with the up or down arrow keys. The numpad arrow keys don't change the named folder in any way. I hope that makes sense?

RE: changes in drop box
Hi John, Okay, just checked my version of the DropBox desktop app. I did this by opening the system tray using Insert-S which is the Window-Eyes hot key for doing this. It is 82.4.155. It was updated yesterday according to Add/Remove programs. I'm running Windows 10 Home 64-bit. I have a desktop icon for DropBox. When I press Enter on it, it opens my personal DropBox folder. which displays just like any other folder on my system. And, within this folder are all my shared folders, that is, folders I have shared with other specific people, like you and I had, at one time. I don't know what else I can say except that you could uninstall and then reinstall the desktop app and log in again. The key thing to note is that the DropBox desktop application is the most easily accessible way to manage sharing files on a daily basis.

RE: changes in drop box
John, I also have version 82.4.155 that Rod mentions. I set up my own desktop shortcut to go to the Dropbox folder, so that could make a difference, but using that shortcut works fine. My understanding is that they did update their software and possibly their website and it does cause us some problems. There is said to be a way to restore some of the old behavior as I understand it, but I don't know what it is. I don't blame you for feeling frustrated, but to make sure we are all on the same page, try navigating to your DropBox folder using Windows Explorer rather than using any shortcuts and see if that works all right. It doesn't seem likely that their software would change how your Windows Explorer interface works, although it might affect the "View". If that doesn't work, tell us what menu items you get when you go to the nonfunctioning dropbox window. In particular, if there is a "View" menu, select that and down arrow to see if there is a "Details" item, press ENTER on that, a nd see if that helps. It seems most likely that you are still going through the software when you are looking at your DropBox files.

Re: changes in drop box
Hi John, I think first we have to all get on the same page here. And that is where exactly are you opening Dropbox, in Windows Explorer, in your browser, or in the new Dropbox app. Be it that you're using mouse keys and the tab key I assume it's either your browser or the new Dropbox app. If it's your browser and you're using Internet Explorer they've probably dropped support for it. If it's the new Dropbox app you can go into preferences and turn it off. I don't have the details because I'm in a rush and I just popped up the app and read that. For anyone else who wants to help, the way I opened the app was by going to my Dropbox folder, selecting a sub-folder, opening the context menu, and using Open in Dropbox. There's no keyboard access. Otherwise John, assuming you have a Dropbox folder on your system you can just go to that in Windows Explorer and it will work fine because Dropbox can't change anything there. But having that folder is an option when Dropbox was installed because it's a mirror of your Dropbox on the web and everyone doesn't have the space to use it that way. Then again, perhaps making it a mirror was the option. I forget. I did it because it's on another drive; so that gives me an on-site Dropbox backup.

RE: changes in drop box
Hi Tom, tThanks for the imput. I have an icon on my desktop and it used to open to the normal folder list in drop box. Sadly that is no longer the case. When I open drop box all it reads is welcome to drop box. The arrow keys do nothing at all and the tab is the same. I can get something using the numpad keys but unable to put something in aa folder or remove it. A friend is running windows 7 and has the exact same problem. I have a gut feeling it is designed for windows 10 and not 7.

Re: changes in drop box
Hi John, Good news! It has nothing to do with Windows 7. It's just that the new app is set to run by default. Here's what you have to do to set it back to open your Dropbox folders in Windows Explorer. Go to the Dropbox button in the system tray and press Enter. This should open the context menu. Arrow up to Preferences and press Enter. You should come in on the General tab. Tab down until you come to the "Open folders in" combo-box. It will be set to Dropbox desktop app. Alt+Down arrow to expand the combo-box. Now up arrow to Explorer and press enter to select it. Tab down to the OK button and press enter. You should be as good as new. Regards, Tom On 10/4/2019 3:06 PM, bjcolt via Talk wrote: Hi Tom, tThanks for the imput.

Re: changes in drop box
Still under Win7, so don't know if this will contribute anything at all. But thought to throw in a couple of ideas. First of all, If you ope a normal session in Windows Explorer, i.e by hitting Windows-E. Now move to your standard drive, like C:. in the root of that drive, you likely will have a foldr, named Users, and under that one, every of your user profiles have their own subfolder. Go to the subfolder of your Username, and I think it is under AppData that you will find the Dropbox subfolder. This is the down-to-basic way of reaching the Dropbox folder, and the oneapproach I used a couple of days ago. It worked back then, but that might have been prior to any updates of the Dropbox software. Still, I don't understand, how Dropbox would prevent you from getting normal results, when going this rather manual way. You should be able to reach your local copy of the dropbox folder. That is, long as your system is set up to hold a local copy, of course. Second idea, please open the Windows Task Manager, by hitting Ctrl-Shift-Escape. Scroll down to Dropbox, and hit Alt-E, to end the process, and hit Enter to confirm. Press Escape to get out of the Task Manager. If everything went well, your Dropbox is now temporarily turned off, and your system might leave you the chance of getting to the local Dropbox folder on your hard Drive. Thirdly, if any of it all does not work, here is one more thing to try. If possible, please disconnect from any Internet - Wired or Wireless. To give it as safe as possible a try, restart your computer. Make sure no Dropbox is running,, that is, check the SysTray, and the Task Manager. Now try getting to your local folder, and see if it is possible. If so, do your copying and reorganizing as you desire. When done, reconnect to the internet, and start Dropbox. It supposedly should now realize there has been some changes in the local folder, and synchronize with the online version of the service. Again, I did work with Dropbox somethng like two days ago, and had no problems in approaching my local folder - doing what I wanted like in any other folder on my computer - and then let the Dropbox software synchronize with the online service. In general, I am considering leaving Dropbox altogether. Among other things, I hate that it insist on running a service it names "camera upload", every time I insert a new memory stick or card into my computer. To have it stop doing so, you will have to accept it splashing a file of its own, onto every single drive. Have found no way to turn off all that self-acting stuff. And if now they have changed their services, that they no longer are accessible for screen reader users, I am ready to give it all up. Smiles. There used to be a Dropbox app for Window-Eyes. Don't know if it still has any impact, or if it only would get in your way. But it might be one way to go. Not even sure, exactly what that app did. A couple of days ago, I uploaded a zip archive of the WE apps I had drawn from App Central, and I know the Dropbox app was in that archive as well. So you could get it from there, if you want to give it a try. Doubtfully, though, it will solve much of your trouble; but I thought to mention it. In case you have it already installed, may it be of any use to try turning it off in the WE control panel? Like Hi Tom, > > tThanks for the imput.

Re: changes in drop box
Hi John, I'm on Windows 10. But I can't imagine why the menu would be different for different versions of Windows. It's the same thing I've always had. There's just some new options. It was always the only way I know of to get to the preferences. And I just did it again. However, truth be told, the first time I did it was with NVDA. But I just did it with Window-Eyes. When the menu opened I just pressed P until I got to preferences. But it doesn't matter because the preferences window was inaccessible with Window-Eyes. So if you have NVDA it should work. You could also try it with JAWS if you have it, or Narrator. I was able to access it with Narrator, but of course it's a whole new screen reader in Windows 10. But fear not! Here's a solution if all else fails. Go to your Dropbox folder. Make sure you're on the main Dropbox folder, not a sub-folder. Press the Applications key to open the context menu. Go to the Send to pull down and send a shortcut to your desktop. Regards, Tom On 10/4/2019 5:55 PM, bjcolt via Talk wrote: Hi Tom, Many thanks for the information.

Re: changes in drop box
David, I think I turned off that camera upload by tabbing and hitting a checkbox. At 04:54 PM 10/4/2019, David via Talk, wrote: Still under Win7, so don't know if this will contribute anything at all. But thought to throw in a couple of ideas. First of all, If you ope a normal session in Windows Explorer, i.e by hitting Windows-E. Now move to your standard drive, like C:. in the root of that drive, you likely will have a foldr, named Users, and under that one, every of your user profiles have their own subfolder. Go to the subfolder of your Username, and I think it is under AppData that you will find the Dropbox subfolder. This is the down-to-basic way of reaching the Dropbox folder, and the oneapproach I used a couple of days ago. It worked back then, but that might have been prior to any updates of the Dropbox software. Still, I don't understand, how Dropbox would prevent you from getting normal results, when going this rather manual way. You should be able to reach your local copy of the dropbox folder. That is, long as your system is set up to hold a local copy, of course. Second idea, please open the Windows Task Manager, by hitting Ctrl-Shift-Escape. Scroll down to Dropbox, and hit Alt-E, to end the process, and hit Enter to confirm. Press Escape to get out of the Task Manager. If everything went well, your Dropbox is now temporarily turned off, and your system might leave you the chance of getting to the local Dropbox folder on your hard Drive. Thirdly, if any of it all does not work, here is one more thing to try. If possible, please disconnect from any Internet - Wired or Wireless. To give it as safe as possible a try, restart your computer. Make sure no Dropbox is running,, that is, check the SysTray, and the Task Manager. Now try getting to your local folder, and see if it is possible. If so, do your copying and reorganizing as you desire. When done, reconnect to the internet, and start Dropbox. It supposedly should now realize there has been some changes in the local folder, and synchronize with the online version of the service. Again, I did work with Dropbox somethng like two days ago, and had no problems in approaching my local folder - doing what I wanted like in any other folder on my computer - and then let the Dropbox software synchronize with the online service. In general, I am considering leaving Dropbox altogether. Among other things, I hate that it insist on running a service it names "camera upload", every time I insert a new memory stick or card into my computer. To have it stop doing so, you will have to accept it splashing a file of its own, onto every single drive. Have found no way to turn off all that self-acting stuff. And if now they have changed their services, that they no longer are accessible for screen reader users, I am ready to give it all up. Smiles. There used to be a Dropbox app for Window-Eyes. Don't know if it still has any impact, or if it only would get in your way. But it might be one way to go. Not even sure, exactly what that app did. A couple of days ago, I uploaded a zip archive of the WE apps I had drawn from App Central, and I know the Dropbox app was in that archive as well. So you could get it from there, if you want to give it a try. Doubtfully, though, it will solve much of your trouble; but I thought to mention it. In case you have it already installed, may it be of any use to try turning it off in the WE control panel? Like Hi Tom, > > tThanks for the imput.

Re: Here Is An Archive Of WE Apps
Thanks for the link. -Original Message- From: David via Talk Sent: Thursday, October 3, 2019 2:46 PM To: WE English Mailinglist Cc: David Subject: Here Is An Archive Of WE Apps For those who are interested, I have uploaded an archive of WE apps. This was drawn from the App Central, shortly before the screen reader was discontinued. Hence, I guess it holds pretty much the newest version of the apps. I even have included the very most up-to-date version of the extended Dictionary. This archive holds about 270 apps. A few apps - which were released, but which I never wanted - has been removed. Still, it should fathom quite much of the apps ever released for the screen reader. Please, as I will only keep it there for a short while, make sure to download while it still is available. After downloading, you will have a zipped archive, holding all the WEPM installers for the individaul apps. There even is a folder, holding some older version of certain apps. I kept it there, in case any of it would be of interest, though I am not sure if that really would be so. Below, you will find the links. One starts the download directly, the other require certain user interaction. https://www.dropbox.com/s/345w1unqknmlu9k/WEApps.zip?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/345w1unqknmlu9k/WEApps.zip?dl=1 -- David ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
