Hi, OK, scratch that information then. I have to say that my experience with getting to the Dropbox icon on the status menu bar with the window chooser menu from Finder was the first report I'd ever seen for VoiceOver, and it was at least a year and a half ago. The "Just Notes" beta version that I was using as a desktop counterpart for my Simplenote iPhone/iPod Touch app also works this way. I never bothered to update the setup after a certain point, because it was working.

And the entry for Dropbox that I choose is "untitled" as described in my earlier post -- not, as I typed here, "unknown". HTH.

When I'm in the typing keybord program, (the one that makes your keyboard sound like a typewriter), there's supposed to be another menu item to the right of the help menu; but, I can never find it.

It's possible that the current installation works differently. Cheers, Esther On Aug 13, 2010, at 09:05 AM, louie wrote: athanks I could nod find any thing call unkowned from the window choser menu.

Then, route your mouse cursor to that location, which will be the Dropbox icon on the status menu bar. There are a couple of apps I know of that work this way, where you can get around the fact that the icon on the status menu is not seen by VoiceOver by using VO-F2 twice. Unfortunately (if you're using more than one of these), they all identify their icon as "untitled", so you have to determine whether you want the first or second "untitled" in the window chooser menu list. Mike, Dropbox is a cross-platform file sharing program that you can use to share or sync files across machines, You can also use this through an app on your iPhone or iPod Touch as a way of transferring files. I think you get 2 GB of file space for free when you sign up. You can purchase additional space. Also, unlike some file sharing services, the transmission and data are encrypted with SSL, and sharable folders can only be viewed by people you invite. HTH.
