Pamela, Activate the menu extra by either pressing vo+m twice or control+f8. Then use vo+arrow keys to move along the menu until you hear Dropbox. This is your Dropbox icon which you need to click but unfortunately using vo+spacebar or just pressing down arrow as it is the case with most other icons in menu extra does not work. Therefore, do the following.
1. Once you've found dropbox in menu extra, route your mouse to voiceover with vo+command+f5 key combination. Then ;perform mouse click with vo+shift+spacebar. This will open the dropbox preferences for you. 3. You should be able to use vo+arrow keys to move the preferences in Dropbox. One more thing: the settings options are at the far right of this menu. Voiceover will announce it as "settings clickable'. To activate the settings drop down you have to press vo+space on the settings button although once again remember Voiceover will not say button but settings clickable. Here in the settings, you will find "quit dropbox" item which is important if you ever want to close the application for the purpose of updating it or for any other reasons. Hope this will help somewhat.
