What I do to download a document with Firefox and Orca is go to
drive.google.com and obviously log in with my Google account. I arrow
down to the document I want to download and continue to arrow down to
the clickable object for the type of document, such as Google Doc, or
the following image. I do a left mouse click to give it focus and then
hit the applications key and down arrow to download. The normal file
manager shows up letting me download the document to a location on my
hard drive. There are probably easier ways to do this, and I probably
found them in the past, but this is what I just did now, and it worked
for me. It's probably also easier with Chrome and ChromeVox.

well...would you like me to send this to the google access list?
Speaking personally, I want them to realize there are users of
Linux who happen to experience blindness having this issue. Google
seems to think only windows users exist.
thoughts?

Okay, so someone shared a google doc with me, and I spent like half an
hour trying to download the file and accomplished nothing but giving
myself a headache.
Google Docs is an inaccessible hunk of junk I'd like to hear scoured
from the face of the Earth, but since the abomination isn't likely to
be going anywhere anytime soon, and it's probably going to only get
more common place for people to send me documents via Google Docs than
as a sensible e-mail attachment, I'd like to ask my fellow blind Linux
Users if they've found anything that makes it easier to go from being
sent a link to a Google Doc to opening a file in your text editor of
choice and having your screen reader of choice read it?
If it matters, I'm using Firefox and I've tried downloading both with
Javascript enabled and disabled.
