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!

What bothers me the most is the lie they told us about why they're taking it away.
They say they are always looking for ways to improve dropbox, however taking this grandfathered feature away from the few who still use it is not an improvement in any way. Literally, taking something away when it wasn't an issue isn't an improvement.
Everyone knows this is about control. They don't like the way we're using something that they made, and so they are going to show us who's boss by just turning it off in exchange for an extremely guided method of sharing which is not what i just bought a year of.
Good thing i can use it for 9.5 months of the 12 i paid for, at which point i'll have figured something else out. They will never get another dollar or recommendation from me, and i'll make sure and let everyone know that they shouldn't invest time in a product that will randomly change their mind.
**** you dropbox. Seriously.

This is completely ridiculous.
Dropbox, please reconsider.
Or else it's time to consider leaving Dropbox.
