Accessibility Comments
The current version of this app (2.0 at time of posting) is very close to being fully accessible, but has one issue - on the top left of the main screen is a button labeled "plus". When you double-tap on this a menu is displayed in the top third of the screen that enables you to upload a file to either the current folder or a new one. Unfortunately, you will need to tap directly on this area of the screen for VoiceOver to find this menu. If you try flicking across the screen, the likelihood is that VoiceOver will simply announce the contents of whatever folder you are viewing, so it will appear as it nothing has happened when you double-tapped on the button. Having found the menu, there appears to be no way to cancel out of the menu when using VoiceOver. You will need to double-tap one of the two menu options or close the app via the App Switcher. If not using VoiceOver, you would simply tap on the lower part of the screen for the menu to be closed.
This is a minor issue, but it is disappointing to see some accessibility issues creeping into this app. Hopefully this will be quickly resolved in the next update.

#1 Photo upload
The latest update has added the ability to batch upload photos from your iDevice to your Dropbox account.
I had been looking forward to using this, but there seems to be no way of selecting photos with VoiceOver enabled.
Has anybody found a way of making this work?

#2 Version 2.0
The same old Dropbox as we knew is still very accessible. Now offer the features of the automatic upload of your videos and pictures that are on your device. Quite nice feature to ensure all backup of your pictures are not lost. However, when viewing the Photos tab you will see the new timeline of when the photos were taken but each Images are listed as Images Button. So say if I were to take 6 picutes today. All six will be automatically backed up on to DropBox but in the timeline of today. It will show 6 buttons all with the same description. It will all say Image button. Other than that everything appears to be very accessible and easy to use.
What's New in Version 2.0
• Shiny new design
• New Photos tab with a timeline view of all your automatically uploaded photos and videos

Yes, I've found it to be an efficient package for sharing document with your devices. I however is covered that some document can not be opened in my iPad. What is the cause and what is the the possible solution?
