RE: filebrowser was: Re: Dropbox issue seems to be fixed

Hi Sandy,

Yes, it is a type of external hard drive although it usually is more than one 
drive. NAS stands for network attached storage and it is typically an enclosure 
into which you install anywhere from 2 to 4 drives (larger ones are available, 
but typically those are very expensive and for commercial use). The NAS is then 
connected directly to your router via ethernet cable, some may offer wireless 
connectivity, but for maximum speed a wired gigabit ethernet connection is best.
You can configure a NAS so that both drives, let's say you have two 3 Gb drives 
in it) become one 6 Gb drive or you can set them up so that you have access to 
3 Gb of storage and the second drive is used as a backup for the first, these 
are the various RAID configurations and most NAS makers use other protocols to 
achieve this.
You typically have a web type user interface like what you have with a router 
to configure your NAS and some routers can act like a NAS if they have a USB 
port to which you can connect an external USB hard drive.
The nice thing is that a NAS is a stand-alone drive, if you have say two 
computers in the house and an Apple TV as well as mobile devices each device 
can access the NAS independently and it is not like an external USB hard drive 
connected to a computer which can also be shared via a network, but it then is 
only available if the computer that it is connected to is on.
I have had a simple Dlink DNS323 two-drive NAS for about 10 years now, it still 
uses the ld drives with the ribbon connector, but it works and I have, for 
example, my entire music library in uncompressed FLAC format on this drive. 
It's about 100 Megabytes and my Sonos system can access this music any time 
without the need for a computer to be on. Via the Apple TV version of 
FileBrowser I can also access movies and pictures I have on this drive from my 
Apple TV and the same goes for my iPhone as long as I am at home and connected 
to my WiFi.
I am not sure what you mean by "does this mean, then, that we have full access 
to all these drives regardless of their previous inaccessibility with 
voice-over".
There are newer NAS drives from the company called Synology and they have made 
their user interface fully accessible, Jonathan Mosen has an article about 
this. With one of these you can use their accessible iOS app and in fact have 
full access to all the files on your NAS from anywhere you have a WiFi or cell 
data connection.

Regards,
Sieghard

You can link it to your Dropbox account and instead of the Dropbox app you can 
then see and browse/open all your files from the FileBrowser app.
In addition to support for all the major cloud storage services you can also 
connect to any local NAS drives you may have (network attached storage) or 
computers as long as they are on the same WiFi network.
I haven't tried to connect yet when I'm not connected to the same WiFi, but I 
think it si somehow also possible.

Subject: filebrowser was: Re: Dropbox issue seems to be fixed

Hi everyone, A friend tipped me about the app filebrowser (not free but easy 
to use and fully vo compatible). IU use that now to get access to my dropbox 
files and for me it fixes the problem and is a nice alternative so i though 
I would share it because it might help some other people out as well.
Have a nice weekend,

RE: filebrowser was: Re: Dropbox issue seems to be fixed

2017-03-06 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Hi Alan,

I figured out the user name and password for my NAS drive, but still have not 
figure out how to access my Windows 10 laptop. I tried my Microsoft Id and 
password as well as the PIN I set to replace the password for signing in on the 
laptop and neither works. I tried also no user name and password and that 
doesn't work which would make sense because it would be pretty poor security if 
it did.
I also wonder what the difference is between the two versions of FileBrowser, I 
bought the Professional bundle for $14.99 CAD (the regular version is $8.49, 
and it installed two apps which Voiceover both reads as FileBrowser. I believe 
one of them did not have an option to let me set up my OneDrive for Business 
account from my Office 365 Small Business subscription, but the "professional" 
version of the app which did allow me to set that up also has the option to set 
up Dropbox and the NAS and so on, almost seems like you do need the 
professional version of the app for OneDrive for Business but maybe it can also 
do all the rest.
Too bad they didn't at least give them different accessibility labels so 
Voiceover would read one as "FileBrowser" and the other as "FileBrowser Pro" or 
"FileBrowser Business". Have to send them an email and suggest it since 
visually my wife says both say FileBrowser, but the business/professional one 
is sort of an orange colour and the regular one is blue in colour.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghard,

When I added the wi-fi network on my local computer using FileBrowser, I 
ignored those user name and password prompts since I don't have any set on my 
computer and FileBrowser accessed the files just fine.

I purchased FileBrowser and when I open it it does see my Windows 10 laptop and 
my external Dlink network attached drive. It says touch to connect and when I 
tap on either one it asks me for a user name and password. I tried putting in 
my Windows Id which I use to login to my Windows 10 laptop, I have it set to 
use a PIN rather than the password, but this does not work. As for my network 
attached drive I don't even know what the user name and password would be, it 
does not ask for one if I access it via Windows Explorer, it just shows up as a 
drive and opens up as any other local hard drive.

Hi all, I would like to thank the person who put up the heads up about File 
Browser, it works fantastically.  I can not only access my dropbox files and 
open them in other apps, but I can see all of the external hard drives on my 
network, and play those files as well.  I suspect I could even import them in 
to other apps, though I haven't tried that yet!  This is going to be extremely 
useful for me as I have a group on whatsapp, called Beatle Talk.  Many of the 
groups that were on Roger are moving to whatsapp, and I am really starting to 
like this app.  I am able to upload
MP3 files to my group, and the members can hear good high quality sound. 
If anyone is interested in joining my Beatle Talk group, let me know and I will 
add you.

Have a good one:

Anouk,

Thanks for the reminder tip about the FileBrowser app. I second Anouk's 
recommendation. Not only will FileBrowser let you link to your Dropbox 
account and have access to those files but it also lets you access the files 
on your local computer. With its built-in media player, you can access all 
the music stored in your iTunes library on your computer and not have to 
worry about filling up your device with that music. If you decide to use 
FileBrowser to attach your local computer file system, I'd caution you to 
put a password on the app in order to protect your data from obtrusive 
access. As Anouk stated, FileBrowser is exceedingly accessible with 
Voiceover.

Subject: filebrowser was: Re: Dropbox issue seems to be fixed

Hi everyone, A friend tipped me about the app filebrowser (not free but easy to 
use and fully vo compatible). IU use that now to get access to my dropbox files 
and for me it fixes the problem and is a nice alternative so i though I would 
share it because it might help some other people out as well.
Have a nice weekend,
Greetings, Anouk,

Re: filebrowser was: Re: Dropbox issue seems to be fixed

2017-03-04 Thread Richard Turner 
Thanks for sharing this Karla.
I've been in correspondence with them as well, but never got that explanation. 
I've heard from at least three different people at DropBox; it is too bad they 
do not talk to each other, or read the prior posts before responding.
But, if they finally have a fix for real, I'll be the first to thank them, 
while still holding them accountable for the major screw up. 
Not unlike the accountants at the Oscars, grin.
Richard
