Hi, Well I also can report that you can use the google drive desktop client with window-eyes with no problems. So if you want to upload files using windows explorer you can just put them in your google drive folder and the desktop client will syk what is there in that folder with your google drive.

I am happy to report that many of the key features available in this web based solution are accessible. Here is a quick summary of the tasks that you can accomplish with Google Drive: .. Navigate Google Drive .. Download a doc, file, or folder .. Upload a doc, file, or folder .. Share a doc, file, or folder .. Organize files into folders The first important tip is that you will need to turn off Browse Mode when interacting with Google Drive. Once you disable Browse Mode, you can take advantage of the built in and extensive keyboard support available in Google Drive. Here is a link to the Google support article that lists the most important keyboard shortcuts: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2563044?hl=en. You will want to review this list and get to know all of the commands in order to become an efficient user of Google Drive. Here are a few examples of how you might use Google Drive. Press G followed by F to focus the folders tree view. Use your arrow keys to select a folder. Press Enter on the selected folder to display its contents in the items view. Press G followed by L to focus the items view which behaves much like a list view. Use your up and down arrow keys to navigate the list. Press X to select or deselect an item. Window-Eyes won't initially say checked but refocusing the item will make Window-Eyes announce the selected status. Press A to open the item's action menu where you can find many different helpful commands including Download, Move To and Share. If you want to upload an item to Google Drive, use the shortcut key U, and then down arrow to Files and press Enter. You will be presented with a pop-up dialog that you can use to browse for and select the file to upload from your local computer. I also wanted to clarify that the Google web based programs used to create and edit files (e.g. Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides) are not fully accessible with Window-Eyes yet so editing tasks would need to be done with accessible programs on your PC like Microsoft Office. We do hope to support these web based applications in the future. There is much more to Google Drive but hopefully this message will give you confidence to go and try to use it with Window-Eyes. Good luck and if you need any more help, feel free to contact me off list.
