[Athen] Box.com accessibility

[Patrick Burke]

Hi Heidi,

Information approaching a year old, but I tested 
Box with marginal success. The basic file copying 
feature was screenreader-accessible, but none of 
the share-with-other-users functions worked for 
me. The entire help system was contained in 
overlays that were not detected by screen readers.

Some of the plugins worked better (for MS Word & 
Outlook, for example). They have a universe of 
plugins, which is nice if you need to integrate 
with a specific program. However if you get too 
many of them, then you end up with a ton of 
things all trying to autoupdate, etc...

I had zero luck with the Box iOS app, but that 
may have been me/my old phone at the time.

I hope things have improved. Haven't heard anything that would indicate so...

Patrick
