Re: [orca-list] Accessible online free service for storage

[luciano de souza <luchyanus gmail com>]

In terms of accessibility, Dropbox seems to be beter than Google
Drive. I could list the files, but the navigation is not natural. Orca
alerts when I am over a menu, but when a  menu tree is opened, the
focus is lost.

I tried also to add files. At certain point, opening an empty folder,
it was announced: "Paste here a file". I copy something from my local
directories and with ctrl+v, I tried to paste the file in the current
folder, but the file was not added.

I come back to Dropbox. Yes, files can be found. Hoever, I was not
able to create new folders. At any point of structure, it's possible
to find a link called "new folder" or "new directory", I don't know
how it is writen in english interface.

This link can't be selected with shift+alt+k feature. Another
characteristic is that it can't be spelled. It's not so easy to reach
the link, but after doing it and press "enter" over it, nothing
hapens. I was expecting a entry box to type the folder name, but I
couldn't release any modification.

Does someone know how to create new folders by means of Dropbox
interface or any other box interface?

All this operations are easily done with a client. However, I can't
ask the instalation of a client at work. The quantity of formal
explanations to get an instalation is very high. It's not enough to
show that I am writing about my work experiences, so it's natural that
I find some material for my articles and desires to store it at
Dropbox or Google Drive.

Linux has excelents clients for both. At home, I can use it. But at
work, I don't know what to do. I can use pendrives to bring it to home
and, here, organize the files at the drive, but with the procedure, I
lose the correct moment to execute this task.
