hi, Thank you all who responded to my questions. I have DropBox downloading now on the Mac. I have been using it for a while on Windows to share files with another group. Its a matter of my learning how to use it on the Mac.
Currently, I am reading through the Tim Sniffen book, but I find he does a lot for Zoom, and I’d find it easier if there was more of a focus on VO and would rather learn more keyboard commands. I’ll try to learn as much as I can from the book … anything that will help. Thanks again.
