Installing DropBox with VoiceOver

I've been using DropBox successfully for some time on my iPhone. Now I want to use it on my Mac Mini which is running Sierra. I'm having problems with the app not providing any VO feedback. I've found a web page describing how to make DropBox accessible, involving opening it in the terminal etc. but the setup never launches. I suspect the most recent version of doesn't require this process.
Could someone point me to a discussion of how to install DropBox under Sierra so it will work properly with VO?

Many thanks.

Hi i have no trouble installing dropbox on my mac.
Here what you have to do.
First when you open dropbox there's a hidden window.
do the vo command for previous window its a security permission.
Once you enter in your password the installer is accessible

Thanks for the reply. I re-installed DropBox this morning and now I can see all my folders and files from the DropBox item in Finder. I also successfully put an alias to launch DropBox from my desktop.

All I do is launch the app from with in the dmg. I don't need to find any other windows. It's completely accessible.
