Hi, The status menu is not accessible with voiceover with installed 3rd party apps. Their is a work around for this though. Problem is, in the latest version of dropbox, they have some how managed to make the preferences window totally inaccessible with voiceover once you've used the work around to access the dropbox menu from the status bar. :(. Its a let down but, not a complete disaster. Dropbox isn't one of those apps where one really needs to constantly be making changes to its settings.
