Use Keyboard Shortcuts
The desktop app, Android mobile app, and web browser interface support the standard accessibility features and assistive technologies of the operating system that they run on, such as keyboard shortcuts, voice assistance, and so on. Consult your operating system help for details.
When using a Safari browser, you might need to configure tabbing behavior which might not be set by default. Access your Safari preferences and select Press Tab to highlight each item on web page.
When using Firefox with the macOS/OS X operating system, you might need to set tabbing behavior as well. Open your operating system preferences and choose Keyboard Preferences. Select the Shortcuts tab. In the Full Keyboard Access section, set the option to All Controls.
To see all keyboard shortcuts in the web client, press the question mark (?). A list of available shortcuts is shown in a dialog.
When you play audio or video in accessibility mode, you can’t navigate to the action bar to perform actions such as viewing file properties. You can only access the controls to play or pause the audio or video. To perform other actions on the file, go back to the file listing (using Backspace or Esc), where you can use the keyboard to access file actions.
