Re: [orca-list] Dropbox Inaccessible!

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

When I launched dropboxd to start the daemon, it immediately jumpped
into a gnome dialog as expected. I have no idea how one could run that
program outside an X environment. I have seen reference to some script
that can supposedly run dropbox stuff after installation; not too
shure how that all works yet.

As for the web interface, Safari on the Mac handled it pretty well but
Firefox does rather poorly on Windows with Window-eyes but
surprisingly, it seemed even worse with firefox and orca.  I couldn't
even find my main top level directory on the website after logging in.

Sometimes it is necessary to do things on their horrid website and I
had hoped orca would have had a better view of it. That's why I ask if
anyone has had better luck; maybe there's some settings to improve the
experience?
