[Trainer-Talk] file sharing drive suggestions

[Brad Snyder]

In answer to your question, Microsoft applications such as Word, do work on an iOS device, but there are some VoiceOver accessibility quirks that take some getting use to.  You will also need an Office 365 subscription if you want unrestricted use of the applications.

Brad and all,
Thanks for responding. Its good to know that One Drive app works on both IOS and mac.

Do Microsoft applications work well on IOS though? For instance, if I bought the Word app and wanted to edit and add info to a file, can I do this easily with voiceOver?
I hope that will work because a common format is Word files. I know IOS has an equivalent program to Word but I don't think I'd use that; I do not have a mac and plan to do my Word processing and most large file creation on a pc.

But reading files on a tablet will help in the ease of access because a tablet and smart phone are portable and light.

Thanks.
Ashley

I agree with David.
There is also a One Drive app for both Mac and iOS.  They both are very accessible with VoiceOver.

While I have used Dropbox and find it to be totally accessible my personal preference is OneDrive. In addition to it also being very accessible you will receive a terabyte of storage if you are an Office 365 subscriber.

I use DropBox on windows and iOS. I didn't have as good of luck with OneDrive.

Hi All, What are good file sharing sources you can access across platforms? Particularly IOS  tablets and Windows pcs. Also, does Microsoft One Drive work well on the pc side with screen readers and IOS? Iâ?Td like to use that if possible. Also, I know we mainly discuss computers and tablets here for training, but if you all can comment on anything file related that interfaces with Google Home or the Amazon Echo devices, Iâ?Td like that. I think I heard that the Microsoft To Do app might interface with the Echo. I find that dropbox has changed layouts and is no longer very screen reader friendly; a few unlabeled buttons and arrows to click on and I cannot determine what they do. I wish dropbox were better to use with screen readers including Jaws because everyone seems to use it and I wanted to teach it to others; yet, when they changed it a few years back, I found it combersome. Thanks in advance! Ashley
