I have a lot of pictures from my dropbox account showing on my website. Is this the end of that now ?

Is there no way that i can get a public map again? and show my pictures from dropbox to my site ?

I looked at the link that write how to link to a 3th party..but all the files/pictures have a different adress now :(..So i need to change 1 gb of links on my site :(

If you were using the Public folder, yes, but you can continue to use the Share Link feature to create links to your images for posting on other sites.

No, the Public folder is dead now. You can continue to create links to your images but you have to use a Share Link. Follow the two help articles I posted above.

Unfortunately, yes, all links to files in the Public folder are dead now. Please keep in mind that the Public folder has been a deprecated feature for over four years. It was replaced by Share Links in October of 2012.
