1) No, the Dropbox web site does not appear to offer a keyboard shortcut for that particular feature. You can find information on the available keyboard shortcuts here . This section of the Dropbox Community is only meant for the Dropbox API though, so if you have any other questions regarding the rest of the Dropbox product, please refer to the relevant section of the community, or contact support.

 

2) No, the Dropbox API does not offer access to this functionality, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. If you are interested in finding the local Dropbox folder to access that directly via the local filesystem though, please refer to this help center article.
