[nabs-l] A Few Dropbox Questions

[Kaiti Shelton]

Side note, I really am interested to play around with dropbox on the
BrailleSense.  I do a ton of my work and communicating through my
phone and laptop so I've never had the need to use my BrailleSense for
dropbox, but now I'm curious to see how Hims worked around the visual
captia that may or may not be there for some people now.  I know I
have a software update patch to install tomorrow so that will be fun
to play with.

Glad to hear you were able to find a solution.
