Hi, I'm using the public links to provide up-to-date drawings on the building site. Now it
seems that all those links will be disabled. I can understand that this has to be changed.
But it looks to me no big problem to let the existing links still function.
Just disable new files to be shared this way in the future.
Please think of all the broken links this will cause.
Hopefully they will listen to there clients. Thanks.
