Review of Dropbox · Web2Access

Summary

Overall, the site is quite accessible. Registration is achieved through the software download, which means that standard dialogue boxes are used and can be read by a screenreader. Some of the text contrast may be difficult for some users to read, and there could be more alt tags used, but the site generally makes it easy for all users to access.
