HI, Heidi!<br>
<br>
I am part of a Box Accessibility User Group. They launched <a href="http://a.box.com" target="_blank">a.box.com</a> late<br>
last year and the vendor said the following about it:<br>
<br>
"The roll-out of the new<br>
<a href="http://m.box.com" target="_blank">m.box.com</a><<a href="http://m.box.com/" target="_blank">http://m.box.com/</a>><<a href="http://m.box.com" target="_blank">http://m.box.com</a><<a href="http://m.box.com/" target="_blank">http://m.box.com/</a>>> is<br>
continuing this week.<br>
<a href="http://A.box.com" target="_blank">A.box.com</a><<a href="http://a.box.com/" target="_blank">http://a.box.com/</a>><<a href="http://A.box.com" target="_blank">http://A.box.com</a><<a href="http://a.box.com/" target="_blank">http://a.box.com/</a>>> will be<br>
the final stage of the roll-out and we hope to have it live for all users<br>
in the coming weeks. [It is now live rst]. Thanks for all the feedback<br>
and testing you¹ve done on the beta! Here's a list of recent enhancements<br>
and fixes you should be already be seeing:<br>
<br>
* The User Settings menu is now accessible in a.box<br>
* A.box reflects localization settings<br>
* A.box now has the "Create Box Note" functionality<br>
* Users can now remove themselves from a folder<br>
* Misc. IE 8 issues have been addressed<br>
Again, your input has been crucial in helping us improve Box¹s<br>
</span>accessibility for all usersŠ<br>

One of my student workers is fully blind and uses Voiceover as his primary<br>
screenreader. He found the <a href="http://a.box.com" target="_blank">a.box.com</a> interface a huge improvement over<br>
their main one. We did not test Sync installation. Several members of the<br>
Box a11y group have requested documentation (including VPATs for the Box<br>
tools) but those haven¹t been received. I¹ll revisit this with the vendor<br>
and share my response.<br>
<br>
HTH and TGIF!<br>

Subject: [Athen] Box.com accessibility<br>
<br>
Happy semester to everyone!<br>
<br>
I recently was contacted by our IT department about Box.com. Has anyone<br>
tested accessibility with the web interface and the desktop sync? If so,<br>
I'm wondering what you may have discovered. Also, is the installation of<br>
the Box Sync accessible?<br>
<br>
Many thanks for any and all assistance!<br>
<br>
Heidi<br>
