Interesting. When I click on the Dropbox icon in my system tray, I see a way to create a shortcut, but not sure if that would do the trick. I also see some options under Preferences to add as a save location in Office. Got to still be a way.

Hi Curtis & Robin,
I'm not sure when it was removed, but that option to open in File Explorer is no longer there and hasn't been for several months. I've been running the paid version of Dropbox for 3 years now and I was running the free version for several years, but like I said I just noticed the open in File Explorer option missing some months back.

I agree with Curtis. I exclusively use Dropbox to manage files between my laptop and iPhone and fine the file explorer method super easy. I put a shortcut on my desktop and just open that to add files. A couple months ago I needed to restore an older version of a file. I think it took me a few tries on the website, but that may have been more from inexperience than inaccessibility.

Jim:
The most important part of using Dropbox is to set it up so that when you activate Dropbox, you get into File Explorer and not the Dropbox program itself.
Another thing to keep in mind is that when providing Dropbox links to files or folders, be sure to change the dl=0 to dl=1 text which is at the end of each link.
Cordially,
Curtis Chong

Hi all. It’s been a long time since I used drop box, and I want to reinstall it now. Is it easier to use now, and if not what pit falls to I need to watch for. I am using jaws 22 on a windows 10 computer. Jim
