I'm not sticking up for Dropbox but perhaps there's not much they can do, how is the software written for a start? It may not be written in a programming language that's compatible with Voiceover.
Yes of course it would be nice to see Dropbox more accessible, I use it here and I use the paid version but 2 things to bare in mind. Firstly, most people are using the feee version of Dropbox thus Dropbox themselves are not making any money for the customer on their software so they may feel given that the choice is clear to the user, if you don't like what we offer then go somewhere else, you may like to try Sendspace for example. And finally, the developers of Dropbox are under no legal obligation whatever to make their software accessible as far as I'm aware.
