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

[Shane Lowe]

computer, similar to how an external hard drive would look. It just
works a bit more slowly since it's pulling information from the cloud
instead of your internal hard drive like Dropbox.
