[NFBCS] Dropbox frustrations, and a question are there other services my dropbox that are screen reader friendly?

[Littlefield, Tyler]

I can second the opendrive, with one pitfall.

Whereas dropbox files are stored on your system, OpenDrive does not 
store data on your system. This means that if you are offline or dealing 
with limited bandwidth, you need to wait for it to pull the files you 
need. Generally not an issue, but worth note in case it matters. 
Otherwise, I've loved OpenDrive.


Also re: comments about dropbox here, you can also use the file explorer 
integration with Dropbox, and google drive has a hard to find but useful 
client that also treats your drive like Dropbox does.
