Sorry, VO jumped again and I pressed the spacebar which activated the Send button.
*** Things have changed a bit with Google’s new look so I’m not totally positive on how it will behave in Snow Leopard with Safari 5.*. I’ll give some basic ideas though: • Go to the Drive link or press the Open My Google Drive link. This will take you to the main Google Drive page which lists your Drive documents and Shared documents depending on what is selected. In the newest look for Google Drive, there’s an area that says something about Welcome to the new look grid or something similar, Interact with that. Navigate around there until VO says “Menu Views four items” or something similar. Interact with that item and VO-space on the Shared item. This will ensure that the list is of only the items that are Shared with you. Navigate to the list of items and arrow through it. You need to check the item you wish to move. If you can locate the Checkbox, check it otherwise, often you can simply press the “x” key when arrowing through the list to select it. After it is selected, Stop Interacting with the list then navigate left and there should be a group of items with the Move button inside. Activate the Move button and a new dialog should pop up. Choose where you wish to move it within your Drive. Sometimes, I’ve found that you need to use the VO-shift-space to select the location and/or simply a press of the spacebar will do it. You’ll need to try a few different things. You’ll know your selection of the location has worked because the Move button will become not-dimmed. If you’re having issues determining exactly where it is going to go in your Drive, don’t worry, you can move it after it’s in the Drive in the Finder and this will affect the web-interface of your Google Drive. The really neat thing about having these shared items in the Desktop version of Google Drive is that any changes that are made by anyone are synced across all users who have access to the document. Hopefully, this makes some sense to you. Later… Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Nov 7, 2013, at 10:20 AM, Ibraheem Fakir <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Tim, > > Thanks for the lead.
