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!
Was aware of the end of public folder, however did not even think it will affect all our direct links. Dropbox, you made a huge mistake.. I will stop using dropbox and I hope many will do the same. Bye
- Unfortunately, same here... so frustrated and dissapointed..
Sorry if this has been covered. I've gone through all 500+ messages in the past, but right now I'm in a panic.
I'm a "basic" user and today I lost all links to dropbox files in my no longer "Public" folder. I thought I had a method to fix them (dl=1) but I found it only works on my machine. So ...
Is there a way to have public links from a web page (google sites) that don't take the user to the dropbox site?
The dl=1 thing works but only on my machines apparently. I saw something about "raw=1" but I'm not sure how it's used.
If there is a post that describes this please let me know.
I have a bunch of people looking for their files!
Thanks!

?dl=0 takes you to the Dropbox preview page.
?dl=1 forces a file to download (even an image file).
?raw=1 forces the file to render in the browser, like the image below, which is coming from a share link in my Dropbox account.
