You can get the acapella voices from assistiveware.com. I love them. Still use Alex for VO, but Tracy is fantastic as my default system voice. Not sure what to tell you about installing dropbox itself. I'd suggest going to their site and making sure you have the newest version. There might be install instructions on the site. If not, maybe someone will jump in and help. >From what I remember, though, you copy the dropbox app into the applications >folder, then you do shift ctrl option M on it to get the context menu. Then, you view package contents. I can't remember what you need to find in there, but there's an accessible installer somewhere. I've heard, though, that this step isn't necessary for the newest version of dropbox. Good luck, and I hope this helps a little.
