Hi Sorry if I don't understand the issue here, I missed the beginning of the thread. When I focus on a file in Finder in the public folder of my dropbox and bring up the contextual menu with VO+Shift+M, I get the option to copy the public link.
Are you saying that this is not happening for you. I just tested it and here is a link for a podcast I have just recorded on selecting text in IOS without a keyboard. I haven't tested the link but it looks as it should to me http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10084394/IOS-SelectingText.mp3 I am not sure if I have done anything different to have this working. Onc again, sorry if I don't understand the issue.
