[Blindtlk] question about email and drop box

So, I'm sending this to a buddy I have working with me using JAWS Tandem
right now to see if it works, because I need someone to test this out with.
I have downloaded it and sent it to my friend, but as we're together on our
computers, I still can't click on my original friend's email.
We're both lost now.
And we're working via skype.

Dropbox is a file sharing storage space. You can have a  public area and a
private area, things you place in the public area anyone you tell about it
can receive the things placed in it. You can save what he sent you by taking
them out of dropbox and saving them to anywhere you want in your computer.
Hope this helps. Downloading dropbox is really easy and for each person you
refer you get additional space for no charge, you can also share space such
as my husband and I  do.

Howdy,

 

I hope I can explain this well.

 

A friend of mine sent me an email with some links that are pictures he'd
like me to have.  They are links on his dropbox folder.  He says I can
download the pictures and save them to my computer.  

First, I don't really know what Dropbox is, but I'm willing to download if
necessary.  Is it useable with JAWS, and is it easy to use and manage?
Please explain in a clear way because I know nothing about this.

 

Second, when I click (hit enter) on each link, I'm told that the file or
link cannot be found.  Perhaps because they're pictures, I just need to
somehow select the link and save them, but again, I'm kind of lost here.

Any suggestions on how I can do this?  These are important pictures that I'd
like to have.

 

Jim
