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

Hi Patrick, The interesting thing is, when performing a vo+shift+M, Dropbox isn't one of my options. Not sure if there is something else I am missing... :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Sep 28, 2011, at 2:57 AM, Patrick

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

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

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

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. It took a while ... a while defined as about 20 minutes because I was using a slower connection

Hi Patrick, thank you for taking the time to respond! No, I haven't tried placing anything in the folder myself, but I will do so at some point today. I finally got dropbox installed and setup this morning, so it hasn't been all that long. I had created a new shared folder via the website,

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

I had a feeling that might be the case. :-) Hmmm, unfortunately, either I am missing something, or there doesn't appear to be any obvious way to move files from one folder to another via the website. The reason I created the shared folder on the website itself, rather than on my own machine,

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

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

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.

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?
