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...
- LGM - 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!
95% of my website will die because of this, thank you dropbox.

Please do NOT post it across these forums (they will be removed as they are unnecessary) - there is already a thread about this out there.

I WILL continue to post across the forums, until Dropbox ban me from the forums, then hopefully someone else will take over. The reason for continuing is precisely because DB are not preserving existing links, and EVERYONE needs to be told. The article you point people to does not address this.
The easiest way to make me stop - apart from Dropbox banning me - is for them to address and resolve the issue of preserving existing links.
- Note to everyone except Rich - if you see me stop posting, it means Dropbox have banned me from the forums. (They can't stop my account as I am not abusing my Dropbox account in any way, and the publicity that would ensue - WILL ensue - could destroy them.)
- Observe the threats used against me, and ask yourselves - is this the Dropbox you signed up to?
