Re: [orca-list] dropbox

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I think on initial launch Dropbox displays a dialog where you can link 
it to your Dropbox accounts. Otherwise as something happens with dropbox 
e.g. it syncs and new files get uploaded and / or downloaded it displays 
a notification in the notification area. You can emulate a right click 
on that notification and open dropbox folder or Dropbox settings from 
there. This is how I think you can operate dropbox alone.
Aside from this there are some Dropbox extentions for popular file 
managers e.g. nautilus-dropbox. This makes nautilus integrate nicelly 
with dropbox so when bringing context menu for files in dropbox folder 
in Nautilus also know as the Files application you can see stanard 
Dropbox actions there e.g. share folder, and similar. Most of them just 
open Dropbox website at an appropriate location however for files inside 
a public folder, there is that well known copy public link menu item.

I don't know how to access dropbox icon from the pannel when there are 
no notifications and this is something we most likelly need to figure out.


Greetings

Peter
