Once in a while, I will get VoiceOver announcing to me that something is being 
added to or taken out of a drop box folder, but usually not. To my knowledge, 
it is best to access you folders in the manner you mentioned, by opening 
dropbox in your home area. You will find that once you do that, you can use 
command and the accent key to move through all the open windows, such as your 
home, drop box and any opened folders in drop box. So you can use this method 
to move from one folder to the other, or you can simply close the folder you 
are in with command w. Just make sure then that you are in the place you want 
to be once you do that. It may put you back in the drop box main folder, or it 
may put you back in your home area or in some other opened window depending on 
what you have done. Actually, sometimes I don't know why it puts you where it 
does, but just be sure of where you are before taking any action. (smile) Hope 
this helps.

Isaiah 2:11 Human pride will be brought down, 
      and human arrogance will be humbled. 
   Only the LORD will be exalted 
      on that day of judgment.
