[Athen] Internet2 Box Filesharing

[Ron Stewart]

Joe is the work they are doing under NDA? It would be good if we could make
these efforts more available to the general ATHEN membership.. As you know
one of the long term issues in vendor accessibility work is that the
outcomes and efforts have not been available for larger consumption.

Hi All,

There is an Box accessibility group that multiple universities take part in.
We have been sending in issues with Box to their person overseeing
accessibility and they have been logging and address the issues. They also
have a road map for accessibility. Unfortunately, the group's work is not
public. However, you may be able to join the group.  I will try to find the
contact information.

Sincerely,
Joe

Patrick et al:

While the Web interface is not perfect with a screen reader, I've managed to
make it work with Box, when necessary.

As with Dropbox, it is possible to download a desktop app. install it, and
have Box files on your machine. I believe the default folder is in My
Documents (on Win7). I don't remember having problems installing the desktop
app., but I installed it nearly a year ago.

As for Dropbox and Box on IOS, Dropbox is superior in this regard.
I've been disappointed not to be able to read my filelist with Box IOS, and
there was a CAPTCHA for the Box IOS login.

Best,
Jennifer
