Accessibility Comments
I have not tried all the features mentioned in the description, but everything I have tried has been very accessible and intuitive. Importing folders from dropbox, creating documents and folders, saving files to dropbox, using the fleksy keyboard to add text, and importing custom actions are all very accessible.
