Ending support of public folder
Just heard from dropbox that support for the public folder is ending.
---------
As a result, we’ll soon be ending support for the Public folder. Dropbox Pro users will be able to use the Publ...
- 8 years agoLGM - the issue is that people are abusing it and causing issues for everybody by getting the Dropbox domains blacklisted which cause emails to fail and downloads to be blocked by firewalls etc.
In terms of changing the extension, sorry, no idea how you would do that!

I'm kind of amazed to see this: Dropbox has deleted the thread requesting they not remove public folders, moving all the comments within it here instead.
Why even have a forum if you're not only going to not let people suggest things, but actively change it so that it doesn't look like there's an organized outcry against a product change?
Forget waiting until March. I'm moving my sh*t to a new product NOW. They don't have time to reply to any concerns, but they have time to essentially tell everyone to f*** off by deleting a thread? That tells me all I need to know.

It seemed to happen right after the news hit the front page of Slashdot. Before removal, the feature had overnight become the 7th most requested one in their tracker. The request and its first several pages of comments are recreated here as they originally appeared. In fairness, at least they didn't censor the content altogether.
