Hi,
Unfortunately, dropbox has never been accessible on the mac, since it relies
on a menu bar that VO can't gain access to. This just isn't the case for
dropbox, however, it's an issue with all apps that use that type of
interface, including the Wifi menu in Lion Recovery.
I've emailed apple

I'm not happy with the Dropbox team at all. I can't do anything at all
with dropbox on my mac. I can't even install it. There wasn't an

Except the fact that you have to access the status of the files using a very
odd work around if you are a beginner mac user like I am but that's not the
fault of dropbox I don't think. If apple could make all the icons visible int

Don't mean to be rude but with that kind of attitude then there sure isn't
anything going to be happening on the Dropbox accessibility front.
If enough people want the accessibility supported, then they should let Dropbox
know and maybe something could be done.

I'm not sure what all this is about myself. I am a very happy user of Dropbox
on the mac. When you first install it, there are some controls that VO
initially identifies as unknown. However, interacting with them reveals the
expected fields for logging in to dropbox. The unknowns appear to be

So do you think it shouldn't be brought to their attention as much, and as by
as many people regardless? How else will they care?
