[Ohio-talk] dropbox

[Kaiti Shelton]

Dropbox is a client that you install on your computer. It works a lot like folders that you probably are pretty familiar with. When you are collaborating on a document or robe the with someone, you place it within the shared folder, open it up like you would a normal document, make the changes in Microsoft, save them, and then just leave the document there in the dropbox folder so that your collaborator can see your changes and make more if they want to. Each of you will get notifications from your computer that Dropbox has been updated. Since you are working with the Microsoft programs directly and dropbox acts like any other folder there aren't any additional accessibility problems. Setting up shared folders on the site can sometimes be tricky, but once that is done there shouldn't be any problems. There is also an app for iPhone and iPad, and I have had greater success creating shared folders with that. Hope this helps.

We both got invited to present at a luncheon on campus.  We will probably do a powerpoint or some other similar document to help us keep the presentation organized.  When we were working on the chapter itself, we just emailed our drafts back and forth.  However, she mentioned using Dropbox to make it easier for us to share and collaborate on the document.  The only reason we did not use Dropbox when writing the chapter is because I don't know much about its accessibility.  Therefore, have any JAWS users used dropbox successfully? If Dropbox is not accessible, is there a more accessible site similar to Dropbox we could use?
